Today's appointment with Dr. Peterson wasn't good. Russell did not gain any weight since Friday and he is eating less. Dr. Peterson mentioned a feeding tube but we are not acting on it yet. He talked to Dr. Hesslein, the cardiologist, who is presenting Russell's case to the surgeons at Children's Hospital. I can't remember if it is next Tuesday or tomorrow but I think it is next week. I hope it is tomorrow so we can get the ball rolling and get this behind us. Dr. Peterson did say Russell looked good and the only problems seemed to be the eating (he is not eating close to what he was) and lack of weight gain.
We have an appointment with a different pediatrician (Dr. Peterson is gone for three weeks) on Thursday. This pediatrician, Dr. Matin is my doctor and delivered Russell and Travis so we trust her. We will reassess then.
