Marleigh's doctor appointment last week was a bit frustrating. The doctor just kept saying over and over, "I do not see a malnourished child." I understand that. She isn't malnourished. But the doctor didn't seem to be listening to me when I told her we have to force her to eat, and that she gags often. The doctor wanted Marleigh to do a barium swallow X-ray (which I don't foresee happening. I don't think Marleigh will drink that stuff.) and treat Marleigh for reflux. So, we'll try to get the barium X-ray done sometime soon.
The doctor also said not to force her to eat at all for the next month and see what happens. I can tell you what is going to happen. She will lose weight. I'm trying to give the doctor the benefit of the doubt, but it is irritating when they only see the black and white and don't LISTEN to the patient/parent.
I'll keep you posted!
