The Tale of Abi and the Illusive Weight Gain
For those who are not aware of what is happening in our family, let me give you a brief run down. Abi was born about 17 weeks ago and was quite small. She didn't put on weight at the 'normal' rate so she started out seeing the Child Health Nurse, then the GP then the Paediatrician at the Kids Hospital, then a Consultant, then the Director of Respiratory Medicine. Since she was about 6 weeks old, to fix the situation and work out why she isn’t putting on weight, she has had the following:
Blood test x 5
Urine test
Poo test x 5
Sweat test x 3
X-ray x 2
Heart Echocardiograph
Heart Echocardiogram
Pulse Oximeter Monitoring
Oxygen Therapy
Nasal Swab
Nasopharyngeal Aspiration (sucking up snot for testing)
Nasogastric Feeding tube (inserted through her nose into her stomach)
High calorie formula
High calorie, partially digested formula
High calorie gel
High Resolution CT scan
Cannula x 2 (small needle in her vein)
General Anaesthetic
12 days in hospital
The conclusion of all the tests so far don’t show anything wrong. That’s right, we are back to square one (or still at square one!)
We are blessed to be supported by so many people. It confirms in me how important it is to be part of an great community and a pretty darn good family.
Because we haven’t found out what is wrong, and Abi still hasn’t really put on much weight, would you pray for us? One of the best things about God is that we can talk to him directly. Even if you wouldn’t necessarily call yourself a Christian or don’t really know God that well, would you pray for us? I know that God hears our prayers (sometimes He answers with a yes, or a no, or a wait – and sometimes we don’t hear him) and Rach Abi and I need His help.
I will try to update when I have more info.

I'm glad Abi is doing better now. That photo is so cute! And Rach was saying she's a model now! Whoo! Famous baby!

if it is not too personal, what's the name of the doc at rch.
It depends on who you are and why you would like to know! I don't think it is too personal. It also depends on which doctor you are referring to. We have had a bunch of General Pediatricians, some respiratory docs, some ENT docs etc etc!
sorry for hidding under the anonymous banner but i intent no harm.
the reason i ask is i have a son who at 6 months dicide not to grow or gain weight,
i know the pain of endless tests that get no result.
anyhow after another 6 months he put on weight and grew as well.
we still see a doc (patatriton sorry i can't spell but u know those doc who treat kids)
i used to drive a taxi and tock a doc from rch to the airport who was a specilist in growth who also knew the doc seeing my son.
any how sorry to bore you.
hang in there and sure it will work out
