Session One: ZZ had taken his new medication before his first feeding during which he vomited. Darn! It's not good to vomit medication given to help vomiting. He only vomited 1 oz (they weigh the vomit, seriously) and kept down 2 oz so hopefully the medicine was in the 2 oz that he kept down!
Sessions Two, Three and Four: ZZ took his bites and drinks amazingly well and with a total intake of 4 oz at each session. His highest ever. We don't know if it's a fluke or the new medicine but I guess we'll see tomorrow. I only saw signs of discomfort twice. Once he gagged slightly but recovered quickly and once he did his head tilt that he does when he's uncomfortable (we think).
By the way (I almost typed weigh, lol), his food is always weighed before his meal with his spoon in it and then weighed again after the meal. Any food vomited or spilled is wiped up with a dry washrag and that is weighed also (they know how much their empty washrags weigh). This amount is subtracted from the total. It is tracked by grams but 30 grams is about an ounce and I can picture ounces better so that's what I report here.
