After many months of slow weight gain, we made the decision for River to have a feeding tube. We reasoned that it would be a way to supplement his current feedings. He would still drink from a bottle, but whatever he didn't eat to meet his caloric needs, would be given through his tube. With more calories, we hope he'll be able to use less energy for eating, and more energy for playing, growing, and those adorable smiles. Here's one of those smiles now, and a before shot of his belly.
