Not gaining much weight

Zachary had a routine weight check today.  The results were not so good.  He weighed in at 11 pounds, 10 ounces.  That's just one ounce more than he weighed two weeks ago.  He's gaining about 2 grams per day compared to the 25 per day they want him to gain.

Not sure what's going on, but the doctors are probably going to recommend keeping him on the ventilator more each day.  Right now he's on the vent for 16 hours everyday and on straight oxygen for 8. 

Let's hope the next weigh-in goes better than this one.
