I need some answers!

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster and I can't get off. Every few feet there's another drop and I can't catch my breath. I feel like I can't get a handle on what's wrong with you. I know you're allergic to milk and soy, but I feel like there's something missing. You're no longer getting milk or soy and you're still in pain. All of this grunting, bowel discomfort, lack of wanting to sleep on your stomach stuff happened after I introduced you to rice cereal. It was short lived because you were so uncomfortable and I thought it might be constipating you. When I saw your Pedi next I told him what I thought, so he told me to try oatmeal with you instead. Same results. And ever since then we've had problems with you.

Today you had a bunch of blood drawn to see if they can figure out what is going on. They're looking for inflamed levels in your intestines along with the possibility that you have Celiacs. The thought of that breaks my heart. I can't imagine you living your life on such a strict diet. It's just not fair. I know there are worse things, but I so did not want an intestinal issue for you. I live every day of my life with one and I wanted better for you.

The results will be in next week and then we're off to meet with yet another doctor - this time a Pediatric GI. Hopefully we can find out what's wrong with you and we can start the road to recovery!

I'm sorry your in pain sweet girl and we're doing everything possible to fix the problem! We love you!



Here's a picture of you at the lab. I took it with my phone, so the quality isn't that great. It was just too sweet of you and your Daddy not to share. You were so comfy laying with him and you had no idea what was about to happen :(
