play time

Alright, I know it's been a few days since I've posted, but it's been busy around here. Last week we had a dentist and doctor appointment for Drew. His dentist appointment was great! They took his picture and put it up on their bulletin board. We also found out that he has no cavities! Yay for Drew for loving to brush his teeth!

His doctor's appointment was at Blank Children's Hospital in town. He was scheduled to see a Dietitian and an Endocrinologist. When we got there the Endocrinologist had gone home sick so we had to reschedule that, but we did get to see the dietitian. She said that he is in the 25th percentile of kids his age, which means that now is the time to get him on a good eating schedule. She said that any child under this needs to be seen, and if children his age are in the 5th percentile or below, it is considered malnutrition. And since Drew is still losing weight, he can easily fall below the chart. So the dietitian told us to put Drew on a schedule of eating every couple of hours, and to increase his calorie and protein. In other words, put butter or oil or cheese on everything he eats! I wish I had this problem!! Drew is handling this very well, in fact, I've been able to get him to eat cheese on things other than pizza! If you look at Drew, his eyes are all sunken in an has dark spots under them. His Dietitian said that once he is getting enough nutrition, it will go away.

Then Monday we got to have Owen come over and play. His parents went on an overnight retreat so we got to watch him! Drew and Owen absolutely love eachother. They especially love to wrestle! I took them on Tuesday to the play place at the mall and let them run around and play. Mostly they just wrestled! When it came to nap time, I was able to get them both to sleep on my bed! It was so cute!
