Nights are getting better

So restricting eating in the evening seems to be helping a lot (between that and the additional H2 blocker before bed), he is FINALLY sleeping thru the night again, and not up coughing all night!
Now we just have to try to get as many calories as we can in in the mornings and afternoon.
Little man actually ate 1/2 a packet of oatmeal yesterday morning at 7:30 which is VERY early for him. He usually won't eat breakfast until after 10~which we can't do when he goes to school, since he has be there at 8:30.

He is doing great drinking whole milk (that is not fotified). The hardest part right now is that he is asking to eat before bed, and when you've wanted a kid to eat for the last 3 1/2 years, it's hard (and confusing to them) to tell them they can't get. Hopefully slowly but surely he'll be able to transision to wanting to eat more earlier in the day. I am wondering if not eating before bed is helping him to really feel the hungar early in the morning when he wakes up.
He is picking back up on his eating, still using the '2 bites' rule, which is going well, and trying to get lots of high calorie snacks in throughout the day.
The OT called and said that he is next in line on the wait list. While I am still on the fence on weather or not therapy will benefit him, or weather it is necessary- I do want to do the eval, then we'll go from there.
