ChIRP clinic yesterday

   Ryan's weight: 16 pounds 12 ounces (10th percentile for an 8 month old-actual age. above the 50th percentile for a 5 month old-adjusted age)--doing great, gaining well over the minimum just on enteral feeds (belly feeds, no iv nutrition).

Docs spent most of their time playing with Ryan, who had just woken up from a 2+ hour long nap and was in great spirits.  We are going to start to work toward getting his time off the G-tube up so that when he becomes more mobile, we have less cords to deal with.  He had to get blood drawn without his Broviac line and it was pretty awful, but short and he's totally over it.  He did great.  We don't go back until January.
