DPoD - Big C update

We visited CHEO this morning for Big C's appointment with his GI specialist. He has put on a little weight (he's weighing in at 22.5 lbs) and has grown (though we didn't grab the measurement for that). Overall he's doing well in terms of his diet and his eating ability - he's a very hungry boy - and they think he's doing well. They've advised keeping him on his current dose of medication until about Labour Day, then reducing to every other day until Christmas, and then going off the meds altogether. All in all it was good news, however he does have quite the angry little bum rash right now. The zinc, paper diapers and some air (read 'no-diaper-at-all time') have made some improvement and should serve him well.
As you can see, he's a happy little camper.
