Riley Update

Today was the big visit to Riley! I know many of you have been wondering, praying and waiting to hear what the doctors said about your Charley, so I wanted to be sure to post an update as quickly as possible. We met with the Doctor for two hours and she was extremely thorough with questions, concerns and checking out Charley. The long of the short of it is that since Charley is doing somewhat okay with his height but absolutely off the charts on his weight, she's hoping it's a nutritional issue rather than hormonal. That being said, she's not 100 percent, but hopeful. Charley has been put on a high fat diet, so bring on the butter! For the next two weeks he will be eating foods rich in fat & higher calories and we will be supplementing three of his meals with fortified specialty formula. Her goal is for Charley to gain an ounce per day. We will we return to Riley in about two weeks to see how he is doing. If he's not where she wants him to be, the really intensive tests come out, because as she said she really hopes this is the issue because other than the weight issue he's a perfectly heathly little boy so they'd have to do some major digging to figure out the cause of his lack of growing.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts and prayers - keep em coming. Off to bed.
