Update on Madi

For those of you who have'nt heard, at Madi's six month appointment, she had only gained 7 ounces in the last two months. So I tried my best to nurse her every three hours and give her some solids, so she could gain some weight. We went to see the dr yesterday, and she had gained 5 ounces in the last two and a half weeks, which is promising. Madi refuses to drink breast milk or formula from a bottle and more recently, she won't open her mouth to eat solids. She is also not rolling over like she should, as well as holding her head up well and sitting up well. So she is not doing as well as we would like.

She will be seeing a pediatric physical therapist to help her with rolling over, eating etc. Hopefully that will help her to catch up a bit, as well as gain some weight. I have also started taking some supplements, Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle to help increase my milk production since that is all the Madi wants to do for now. Please keep her in your prayers.

Thank you for sharing Madi's progress. She is doing better now and gaining and eating a little more, I understand. She is in our prayers and we love you.
