I can't believe I am posting this, but....
Eric gained 1 and a half pounds since his last GI appointment just 6 weeks ago, and I'm a little weirded out by it, because this has never happened before. She re weighed him and I have no idea what it came back as because we started talking about something else and I lost my train of thought.

He has never gained weight rapidly. Last year when he was put back on a good dose of PPI he gained 4lbs in about 4 months time, and he hasn't gained but 8oz since, until now.

Honestly I don't see that he's eating or drinking anymore than usual. In fact The past week or so he's been skipping breakfast again, and dinner is a couple bites and a pediasure afterwards.
but I do offer pediasure 4 times a day now instead of just 2. He rarely ever finishes them though, and is averaging aprox 3 a day or 24 oz
so I'm having a hard time thinking that just 8oz of pink crap juice is the reason behind it.

So does anyone now if a 1.5 gain for a little guy that weighs 34lbs (before the gain) is a normal fluxuation in such a small ammount of time?
I'm just a littl eworried because his pee is so weird right now, and he looks funny. He's also been complaining about itching again recently.

I say, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!" :yahoo: Unless he's backed up and full of poo, I think it's great that he's gained!!! :hug:

I would think if he is getting more calories from the drinks...he would gain some weight from it...even if it does seem like a small amount it's still an increase. How tall is Eric? Jayden just weighed in at 34 lbs a couple weeks ago...I was going to measure him ....I think he is about 37 inches tall .... Eric looks taller in the pics .....
I hope he's not coming down with something....

I'm not sure. Did he eat right before the apt? I know my weight can fluctuate by 3 or 4 pounds during the day, but I am not sure how it works with kids.

I don't remember, 40 inches????:oops: I'll pay attention today at the uro appointment

Katey,
I'm thinking that MAYBE it was just because we had an afternoon appointment this time, and he hadn't popped yet. at least, I hope it's not kidney related in anyway

I agree with Lindsay....be happy for the weight gain. Celebrate it. KWIM?
