My nephew is gaining weight. As of Friday (I think), he was almost 5 pounds. They did a swallow study on him and found out that he is having trouble swallowing thin liquids. They are now thickening his liquids in hopes that it will help him gain weight. He still has the feeding tube in and they are still doing oral feeds. They are hoping that within the next couple of weeks he will be well enough to go home.
