Update

Just a quick update - Noah lost another .2 pounds over the past week. I thought it might be more given how little he was eating. Overall, since December, he has lost .8 pounds. It sounds like such a small amount but every ounce gained and lost is important in his case. I'm just grateful it was not more.

The good news is his appetite is starting to increase and he is feeling better. He is on an antibiotic for an ear infection and his energy has returned (with a vengeance, I might add!)

Today, he discovered a fun new activity: riding on the vacuum cleaner! It works great for both of us. I get some housework done while he is joyfully occupied and he receives sensory stimulation in the forms of vibration, heat, and motion. Also, it requires him to exercise his stomach muscles for stability on the vacuum. Hooray!

Good morning,
I am glad you found his ear infection. It is amazing how that can make you not want to eat. I am sure he will fatten up quickly. :-) Remember the peanut butter shake recipe. That has to have 10,000 calories. I gain weight just reading the recipe. Those temper tantrums will pass he is trying to show you how independent he is. Keep up the patience. God blessed you with a lot of it.
We pray for all of you daily.
We love you all.
