Just a quick update..

Since Wednesday of last week Aiden and Nathaniel have both gained a pound a piece! Meaning when you have the correct formula mix, they gain weight!!! DUH!

Furious!

So we are furious right now. Since we brought the boys home they have been on 28 calorie Neosure formula which was prescribed by High Risk. Regular calorie Neosure made by the back of the can directions is only 22 calorie. Well we were sent home with very specific directions given to us by High Risk on how to make their formula thicker so they get more calories to help them grow more and help them grow a little faster. Well a couple a months ago High Risk was not happy with their growth still so they put them on protein powder as well. Still no significant weight gain. They are still not on the charts for height or weight for their age. Come to freaking find out the damn directions that they gave us is the same freaking directions as on the back of the damn container of Neosure. So our boys have been getting 22 calorie not 28 calorie. We are completely and utterly pissed. We raised this issue with our pediatrician yesterday even though this is not in anyway his fault it is High Risks fault for giving us the wrong directions. But he was very upset. Basically it has stunted our boys growth the past 8 months we have had them home. They could of been caught up in growth a long time ago! No wonder they are always so hungry! So instead of still being hungry after 8 ounces of the thin crap, they are now getting the correct amount of calories and barely finishing 5 ounces of the thick milkshake. Yesterday Nate weighed in at 18.4 lbs and Aiden was 17.4 lbs. I will keep you updated on their progress in weight gain as I am sure it will progress rather well now that we found out this wonderful bit of info.

My poor little sicky boys...

The boys have been pretty sick and now Aiden has been diagnosed with Asthma. I had to take both boys to Children's in Liberty township today to get checked over because they have been running pretty high fevers and runny noses, not wanting to play and so on, but come to find out they have a small virus and are no longer contagious but Aiden has Asthma. So he is on Albuterol every 4 hours for the next 24 hours and then twice a day for the following 48 hours and then we see our doctor. Last night Aiden's temp topped out at 103.6, so I had a long not so fun night being worried about fevers and giving breathing treatments.
