We finally made the trip to Denver to see various specialists about Delaney's feeding issues. We'll have to wait until Tuesday to touch base on some of the test results, but overall we now feel a little better about things. Based on what we saw during the x-rays, everything seems to be functioning properly internally. She was prescribed a new medication to help her feel better, and we've been doing pretty well with smaller, more frequent feedings. The doctor's think it may be one of three things: a straight aversion to feeding (for whatever reason), food allergy, or reflux. For now, we're trying to address the reflux end of things, and hope that over the next few weeks Delaney starts to enjoy her feedings again. She's in good spirits, and is really starting to vocalize and smile a lot.
Meredith stayed with the Mowery's in Powderhorn, and from the sound of it had a lot more fun than we did travelling across the state. While in Denver we stayed at the Ronald McDonald house, which would have been fun for Meredith if she had come. It's nice that those types of places are available for folks that come in from out of town. The drive home from Denver on Saturday was a long and frustrating experience which reminded us why we don't typically travel on holiday weekends!
