[tri-med] Losing weight

I just posted the other day about low blood sugar. Now we're on to a new 
obstacle. Caleb (full T13) will be 10 days old tomorrow. He is still losing 
weight. We know that there are issues with his liver and kidneys (although I 
was 
told neither are failing yet). The doctor said that he suspects an electrolyte 
imbalance of some sort and that any testing to determine what is going on would 
be too invasive and he recommends that we bring him home from the NICU and 
just let things be. 
Has anyone experienced difficulties with early weight gaining issues? The doc 
says he's already on more calories than a baby of his age should be. 

Could this really be the end of the road for us already? I feel like I am 
just giving up on him if we don't investigate the cause.
