I know your feelings but be assured there is so much that will improve quickly with good nutrition and a family. Lydia is still only 20 pounds (at 20 mos) but she is chubby and strong and healthy. She will just always be small. Make sure you doc does a sample on everything that goes into a diaper. That might eliminate some other causes for the slow weight gain.

it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok!!!! i know soooo many families who brought their kids home with similar weights/issues and their kids are fine. however, i’ll be praying hard. it sure wouldn’t hurt to have a meeting with you pediatrician before you go for suggestions and a feeding plan you can implement as soon as you get to Ethiopia. hang in there, friend.

Praying for your family! I know the ache you feel. I too, have felt it. My little guy has had that gastro stuff too and it’s such a worry. He weighs at 5 months what my daughter weighed at 3 months. He has also had terrible chicken pox! You WILL pass and the time to get her will be here all of a sudden!!!!
