tough day

Jerry has been a little, or more than a little, fussy the past few days and hardly accepting any food or formula. Yesterday was a grand total of 12 oz. of formula and two bites of pastina (tiny balls of pasta). He refuses and cries at just about all food. He seems hungry because he is chewing on his hands and fussy but just can't or won't eat. Tonight I got him into his chair by giving him sips of a strawberry slushy. Then he started eating almost happily a few bites of pastina...it looked like he was really going to eat and not be crying. I got interrupted for something with Isaac and walked away leaving John to finish. Jerry just started crying for me. I came back in a few minutes but he would have nothing to do with eating at this point. The whole day has really taken an emotional toll. It's not like he's a regular kid and "he'll eat when he's hungry." John said tonight that maybe the increase in his meds is making him nauseous. We also went to the pediatrician and found that he has not lost weight since Friday so that was good to know. We will have to keep checking that. His post traumatic stress was very evident at the doctor's appointment today!
