Weight: It appears that his weight has been steadily decreasing over the past 2 months. I think you are right to be concerned. Talk to his nutritionist and his MD again and review all parameters of his growth. All the best. I'm not sure why he is being fed through a G tube but I hope he starts to feel better.
