Asher is still continuing to falter off of the chart. He makes progresses, only to take more steps backwards.
We are awaiting our pediatrician to make us an ENT referral. We are also going to try one more formula that has 2x's the amount of calories as Pediasure (Kid's Boost 1.5).
If these things do not improve the situation, we will be looking at supplemental feedings (a NG tube). Hopefully this would just be a temporary thing to expand A's stomach, get him properly hydrated and back on track.
The prospect of my child having a tube taped to his face is not comforting (or placing it, or him ripping it out, etc). However, constant dehydration, limited (or no) growth and mealtime tears are not my idea of fun either and I'm getting really, really worn out.
Asher is a lucky boy to have such a loving and pro-active Momma like you who is willing to do anything and everything to make sure he's getting everything he needs! Prayers to you friend!
