Elijah's not feeling well =(

MAY 13, 2008

Today I took Elijah to the doctor. He's been having loose stools with blood and mucous.
In the past there was talk that he may be allergic to lactose, so we've been using lactose free formula. Now the doctors think that he may be allergic to cow's milk in general (even lactose-free). We've chosen to use hypoallergenic formula and see where that gets us. In the meantime Elijah hasn't been eating much, and has REALLY slowed his weight gain.
(Today he weighed 13lbs 11 oz, which is just shy of a 1lb weight gain in almost 3 weeks).



My opinion: This is a result of a side effect from his Rotovirus vaccine. Research shows that he could very well has slight symptoms of actually having the virus. Luckily no fever, but I still hate seeing my little one in pain.

We're giving it one week. If it's not better we have to get culture kits to see if it's bacteria related.

Just pray for our little fella! I'm sure he'll be fine, but prayers never hurt!

Love you and thanks for your support! <3
