Jack wieghts 5 pounds 12.8 ounces. Not long he will be 6 pounds. They increased his feeding to the 22 calorie formula and they also increased the amount he is getting from 46 to 54. His procedure went well. The nurse said that he didn't cry at all. The found out that he has a bad case of colitis and that he is allergic to milk. Even though he is allergic to milk I'm so happy to have an answer to why he is having bloody stools. The formula that he is on (Neocate) will continue to help the colitis clear up. This could take a few weeks because his bowels were pretty irritated. I pray that he out grows this problem, but atleast for no we have an aswer and we know what to do to clear it up! :)
Jack can come home as soon as he takes all his feedings by mouth!
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
