January GI Appointment

Colleen saw Dr. Zoubi in January for her GI follow up. Her weight is the only concern. She is doing great everywhere else. Her prevacid medication was discontinued with two weeks of decreasing the dose to wean her off slowly. We need to "fatten" her up. She had a mild flu the week before her GI appointment, so the few ounces forward were obviously lost. Her appetite is excellent, so we do not anticipate IV feedings ever again! However, the debate regarding to keep her port or remove her port continues. From a BMT perspective, they want the port removed. From the GI perspective, Dr. Zoubi wants us to be very clear that it is the PARENT'S decision. Since her weight continues to be an issue we will leave the port in place and continue to do monthly flushes at home. She will return to the pediatrician in March for a weight check, and I scheduled her five year old check up for the same appointment.
