Caed's daily med list has doubled. Along with 2100 ml. of Neocate formula and 300 ml. of 1/2% Sodium Chloride each day, he also is on Sodium Bicarbonate (3x/day), Culturelle (2x), Imodium (3-4x), Vitamin D3 (2x), Zinc Sulfate (2x), and the antibiotic Omnicef. AND....they want him drinking 1500 ml. of his ORS drink everyday. Soon, he will also have to start taking a copper supplement. Some of his vitamin/mineral levels are getting pretty low. Our dr. in NE said this was very common among short gut patients, and hopefully as he gets older his bowel will adapt better and absorb more. (and less need for supplements) His NE GI dr. said the "rash" he had last week also could be from his low copper level. ??? Who knows? The spots are almost completely gone now. Praise the Lord for that!
Look Nana and Grandaddy at my new birthday present!! Does it look familiar?

These pic are just TOO cute! Way to go Caed--keep gaining that weight! Not too many times in life that everyone tells you to gain weight! Take advantage of it!
Hugs and kisses
Love,

Did you use a permanent(sp?) marker? I remember when we got written on in our sleep by your sweet brothers and had a real hard time getting it off for school! We had a red upper lip for school that day! Everyone looks great!
