I have been in the medical field as well for a long time, and I have never heard of a parent bringing their child in with this complaint.

She has had genetic tests and and upper and lower GI run with swallowing, and all that measured, as well as a stomach x-ray, which have all been negative so far.

It is very puzzling to all of us, and that is why we are asking for prayer, because there seem to be no answers. The doctors do not know why she keeps refusing food. She is 4 months old, and weighs 11 lbs. She weighed 7, almost 8 lbs when she was born. In the last week, she has lost 8 ounces. It is all so very concerning.

We've scoured the Internet too, with not much turned up.

Our only consolation is that Jesus knows. He created this beautiful little girl, and He knows best... we are just asking and praying for His wisdom to be imparted to the doctors and those caring for our sweet little angel.
