Pulminologist Appointment



Brandon had his appointment with the pulminologist this morning for his RSV shot. He only has one more shot next month and then he is done with RSV shots. Brandon weighed 20 pounds, 6 ounces again. For some reason he has been stuck at that weight since October. I thought for sure he had gained weight because he has been eating and drinking well but he was the same weight again. Dr. Sembrano suggested giving him 2 cans of pediasure a day. That will give him 500 calories right there. He can also continue to have whole milk after having his pediasure and table food. He said Brandon needs to eat at least 1000 calories a day to gain weight. Between all of the milk that he drinks a day and the table food he eats he is probably close to that already. He is a very active toddler which I am sure does not help in the weight gain department since he is probably burning a lot of calories. He is constantly walking, running, climbing, playing, etc.

That's so ironic that you posted about weight and calories. I was just thinking about all of that earlier today and wondering how many calories MK should be getting. I think we are far from 1000. Yikes!
