In the past 4 months I have been to the doctors numerous times with the boys. The out come, each of them have had 3 ear infections in 4 months along with high fevers, colds, runny nose and coughs which are generated from the ear infections.
Today I took Kadin in for his 3rd ear infection weighing in at 18 pounds (in April at his 1 year check up he was 24 oounds). He was given a 3rd medicine called Augmenten, a strong dose and the doctor said that this dose would kill any kind of infection he had going on in his little body. If he still has a fever by Saturday to bring him back. In the last 4 months Kadin has lost 4 - 5 pounds. He is now in the red zone. He wasn't that big to begin with. I had to take out the 9 month shorts for him to wear again and re-adjust his shorts to fit him, his shirts are all big on him now. His arms and legs are so skinny. It's not like I'm starving my child he just does not have an appetite to eat. He has a follow up appointment in 3 weeks to check his weight so the doctor told me I have to fatten him up. Make him mashed potatoes loaded with butter, cheeze, sour cream. Have him eat peanut butter and eat more offten. Let me know if you have any ideas how to fatten up Kadin.

Aww poor baby! Ethan was only 19lbs at his one year check up so the doctor said feeding him more meats and whole milk would help him gain weight. I hope he gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! He doesn't have enough weight to loose - sounds like he gets LOTS of Jamba Juice 1400+ calories!
