[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the gentle advice. I’m feeling fragile right now. To answer some questions, the nutritionist is a dietician who works with DD’s medical team at Children’s. I am very opposed to the feeding tube for lots of reasons - most importantly because it feels like a total invasion and I’m not convinced it’s necessary anyway. But it did drive home the point that we need to take this seriously. As for her general health, her vitals are fine. Her team at NIH concluded that her bone delay is most likely a result of “insufficient caloric intake.” She is active, happy, social, coordinated, bright. Sometimes she says she feels [b]weak, tired, or dizzy[/b]. She is anxious, and I can’t say I blame her.[/quote] Regarding feeling weak, does she need more electrolytes? My child really likes Nuun drinks. (It's a healthier version of Gatorade, available at Whole Foods, sold in fizzy tablets.) [/quote]
