After a month of not gaining even one ounce, Jonah weighed in today at:
18 pounds and 3 ounces
That's an EIGHT ounce gain from last week!!!

yayyyy for the weight increase!!!! That's what usually happens... if you're trying to gain weight, it'll be on a plateau for a while then all the sudden show up... or if you're trying to lose weight, that same thing happens often too!
so happy he gained tho :) :) :)

Awesome! God answers prayers! He is so faithful in meeting our needs, and showing us just how much He cares. Even if we don't always see it immediately, He is always at work. Congratulations, Jonah! And congratulations to you, Patrice, for all of your hard work in getting him to eat even when it is beyond frustrating!

Yay, Jonah!! Keep it up buddy!
WOWZERS!!! That is SO great...I remember my kids going through plateaus w/ their weight gain. My daughter was a preemie and I was always concerned w/ her weight gain. It was never as serious of an issue as you have w/ sweet Jonah but still worrisome. I hope that this takes a little stress off of you! You are doing a great job--I will keep praying for you and Matt for wisdom as you care for Jonah. And, I will keep praying for healing for him! Praise God for the good report!
Slow and steady wins the race. Praising God!

Great News! I think when babies spit up it looks like a lot more than it really is. He's getting more than you think. He's HUGE. My 23 months old barely weighs 20 pounds! I have a 5 year old that weighs about 28 lbs too. Keep plugging away -- he be eating that baby food in no time.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise His all creatures here below...Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! AMEN!!!!
YAY!! Praise the Lord!!!
Wonderful news!! All the glory to God. So happy to hear this today.

Our God is an AWESOME God! He does "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask"
Oh wow! So excited for you!!! My sons do not have EB, but both both had/have weight/growth issues. My older son (now 5) was on Periactin for about 9 months. It was a miracle for us and our last hope. He was way below the charts and with the help of Periactin he went up to the 50%. For him (of course no EB mind you) we saw no side effects at all - which made it even more of a miracle for us. Good luck to you and precious Jonah. I think about you often and pray for you.
Yeah! Celebrate with some Chick-Fil-A?!
GOD IS GOOD!!! FAITH, FAITH, FAITH IN PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER!!!
YAY Jonah!!!!!!! I never thought I would be so excited over weight gain!!!!
You go, little porker, you GO! We love you in Ohio,
Amanda
YEAH!!!!! Way to go Jonah! You did it, and your mommy and daddy are so happy for you, and proud.
Keeping you in our prayers.
Blessings, Mari
