Feeding Issues

Since the feeding tube, River has gained 2 pounds in 6 weeks. That's a lot for a little guy. He's growing. But he's also rejecting his bottle. Before the tube we were able to feed him around 15 ounces of formula a day which was not enough for him to grow. With the tube, we feed him close to 24 ounces/day but only a few of those are by mouth. Some days (lately) he won't take any by mouth. He just lets it dribble out. He's also been doing something new, projectile vomiting. It's messy, it's scary, and no fun for him. Today he had three baths, I had two. We're seeing the GI on Tuesday to discuss this, and hoping she has some answers or we may head to Boston again.
