I started my Ultrase enzymes on April 15th. I have been taking them like a champ. I get the little enzyme beads in a tiny bit of applesauce. Mom puts them on a spoon or on her gloved finger. I then get to wash them down with 10 cc's of breast milk. I get these 30 minutes before each feeding. Mom calls it my dessert before dinner. I am now getting 48 cc's of breast milk over 1 hour then 1 1/2 hours of no feedings. The 10cc's I get with my applesauce comes out of that amount. My overall volume for the day decreased from 456cc's to 432cc's. This is is the only way to get more volume in a smaller amount of time without over loading my belly. The goal is to get me on larger volumes with longer breaks in between my meals, just like most people eat. I started getting my fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) yesterday. I get them once a day. These are put in my gavage tube while eating. The color is a bright orange and it changes the color of my pee to orange.
Mom and Dad gave me a bath last night and I pee'd on them twice. Once while getting weighed and then again after I was all dressed and clean. I am just preparing them for when I go home.
Love, Ben

Hey Ben, it's Aunt Carin! Your new picture is gorgeous - look out ladies! I know, I know, you're already a lady-killer with the nurses, playing both the stud and the cute-and-cuddly snuggle-bunny role!
I hope the enzymes and vitamins start working to help you keep your weight up. Sounds like you're doing so great with such big-boy activities...and you're just a little peanut still.
I'm also glad that you have friends like Cameron and Sal around to help you through this - they've walked great strides in your shoes and I'm glad you can get to know them.
Thinking of you always! Big love, hugs, and kisses, xoxoxo
