2.5 year old refusing to eat

James came home on Thursday. James saw the dietician on the Wednesday and she apologised for not being able to see James earlier as an out patient. After a long conversation and giving her lots of information she has decided to keep in contact with us every other week and she will also be seeing him on 17th May. She is also thinking of refering James to the feeding clinic which is run by herself and a speech therapist. She has assured us that James is a priority and that she wants to keep a close eye on him. She has also said that she expects it to be a long process and that it will be at least 2 years before she expects James to be eating anywhere near normal. James’s consultant is seeing him on Wednesday and wants to then see James every 4 weeks until his weight improves. They don’t want to change his milk just yet but may have to in the near furure. Both the dietician and the consultant have decided that starving James is not the way to go to get him to eat and that it would probably only make things worse. I had never thought it was a good idea to be honest. That is roughly where we are at the moment. Unfortunately James seems to have a stomach bug at the moment and is only drinking small amounts of his milk which will obviously not help the situation.

James is back to drinking neoactae and eating raisins now. I never thought I would be so happy to see him having these 2 things and keeping them down its great. It does not make our situation seem as bad as it was not that I am going to give up fighting for my son and the treatment he deserves.
