so tomorrow the little guy will be 9 months and things are STILL out of whack. i think/thought the reflux is under control–prevacid and middle of the night zantac. he doesn’t seem to spit anymore or at least he isn’t bothered by it. however, when he throws ups, he throws up! he’s also back to having trouble sleeping.
we’ve been TED since the 09/01 with occassional nutramigen (he originally wouldn’t take a bottle and vomited it up like nobody’s business. outright refused alimentum). i have not been able to add anything back. so its turkey, lamb, veggies, fruit (i miss summer!), potatoes, and rice. just got his first round of allergy tests back and the only thing that showed up is eggs. he is also anemic and still not gaining weight. his gi doesn’t believe in elminiation diets–“the research is contradictory”–but until this point has pushed the point. the gi gave me a special way to mix nutramigen so it was higher calorie thinking luke just isn’t taking enough in. well, he won’t take it except in his cereal so i’m not still not sure he’s getting enough. he’s not a great eater when it comes to solids either. used to love them now takes a few bites and throws the spoon. i’ve tried steaming everything so he can do it himself and that didn’t go over real well either.
in the meantime, his diapers are horrid–you need a gas mask starting from the hallway. diahherea most of the last month or mucous or curdish. his eczema is getting worse. i also think he might be breaking out his hives on his chin and torso about two afters after nursing.
WHAT THE HECK!??!!
so i have to face the scale, gi, and ped on monday. but more immediately i have to deal wiwth my tantruming toddler and then figure out why he’s screaming.
thanks for reading!
