Bowen is starting to smile now. He is 6 weeks old.
I can't believe how fast it has gone by.

I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and fasting for this little guy. I took Bowen to the Dr. last Friday and he had gained 9oz. in one week. which is more than he had gained his whole life. The Dr. called it a miracle. He said that this was more improvement than he could have ever expected out of him. We are keeping him on the medication to strengthen his stomach but hopefully soon we can take him off of that.

I wanted to give an update on Bowen. For those that don't know he has had a hard time growing. Bo is 6 weeks today and as of last week had only gained 3 oz. so he is 3 pounds under what he should have gained. We went to the hospital on Monday and they did an upper GI test. He had to fast for 6 hours( this was the worst part... poor guy!) then they had him drink some dye and we laid him under the x-ray machine and watched it go into his stomache. The test came back normal they said just a little reflex but nothing that would cause this weight loss. I don't really know wheather that was good news or not I just want the problem found soon. They did start him on 2 different meds to help his tummy so hopefully they will do their job and he will catch up!! We go to the ped. tomorrow so I will give another up date after I hear more.
