Update

Okay, So Ron took Emma for her 6 month checkup about 3 weeks ago where they said that she was underweight and to feed her more high calorie foods. We had a follow-up appt last Wednesday where she had only gained 1 oz in 2 wks, where she's supposed to be gaining a 1/2 oz everyday. So, the doctor ordered for her to get an Upper GI and a Sweat Chloride test along with some blood work. So, last Thursday we took her get the Upper GI and they said she only refluxed once in 5 minutes, which is normal. Then, today, I took her to get the Sweat Chloride test done, but she wouldn't sweat, so it didn't work. They still got a urine sample and blood work, though. So, I had to call the doctor and let them know that the sweat test didn't work and what to do next. They said that they were going to wait for the blood work results to come in and see if she needs to go through the sweat test again. We go in for a follow-up/weight check next Tuesday. Ahh....the joys of motherhood!
