Kai continued to have a great day today, meaning nothing like yesterday.

He was eating almost 3 ounces evey 3 hours and kept it all down and without an excessive amount of dirty diapers. His appointment with OT today went well and Kirra got to come and join in on the fun as well. She was really impressed with how well he sucks and how strong his suck is. Actually, overall she always seems impressed with him. Nonetheless, we're still applying him for the Early Start program here to further aid him in his development. Its not a guarantee that he will be accepted, but its worth a shot to help get him the best possible outcome!
We'll know more next week.

Also, each week we weigh him at the OT, today he weighed in ar 9lbs 10oz! 10 ounces in one week is awesome- so nevermind he had a "lazy" day yesterday! He's right on track.

He actually did throw up again tonight, but I think I've solved what triggered it. When giving him his Prilosec, I was told to give it to him 30-60 minutes after his last bottle and not to eat again until 30-60 minutes after given as well. I think what happened was his milk was not digested completely when I gave him the Prilosec and he hates the way it tastes so he initially tries to spit it out and so seems like everything just came back out with it. I'll talk to the GI doctor about this, but I will be extra careful about timing so he doesn't throw up anymore :)
