Jereth has been off his feeding tube for almost a month, but has not been gaining weight - in fact, he's been losing weight. So he's going to have to endure the feeding tube again. He'll still get to take a bottle during the day, but the rest of his calories will again be pumped into his stomach at night.
We were really hoping he was ready to take this next step, but he's shown us we moved too fast and he wasn't ready. Yes, it's disappointing, but we need to keep him healthy and growing. So if this is what it takes, this is what we'll do.
