Dear fellow CF families,
I wanted to say "thank you" to folks who responded to my post about six weeks concerning my son, 14 months old at the time, who was having difficulty gaining weight. Aidan is also allergic to dairy and soy, and we were struggling getting his weight up and his team was considering the feeding tube. I felt like the dietician wasn't being helpful, and asked for some feedbac/advice from the message board....well, using some of the GREAT advice I got here (adding olive oil and coconut oil to his food, consulting with another dietician) I am thrilled to report that at Aidan's clinic visit today, he was at 50% weight for height....of course I know weight is an on-going issue and I'm not against a g-tube if it's what we eventually need, I just want to say "thanks" to all ......I think this site is often more helpful than the "professionals." I hope I can return the support/favor at some time in the future.
All the best to you and your families,
Ginger
