Little Miss is now officially crawling and pulling up on EVERYTHING. Ryan had to move her crib down last week. WAY TO GO DADDY!!! Just when I felt like her nursery had come together and I was loving it, then we have to move her down. She now looks like she is in a jail cell. She loves peeking out at us when we walk in to her room. Who wouldn't just want to eat her up with a spoon?!
I divert...speaking of eating... The original reason for this post was to thank all of you for your prayers about LM's tummy situation. The doctor called us back and basically thinks she had too many antibiotics in the NICU when she was born and her little immune system hasn't gotten over it yet. So, she basically has had a staff infection in her small intestine and colon for 8 months. WOOHOO! Now, aren't you glad this overbearing mom drove all the docs crazy to figure out what was wrong?! The doctor seems to think that a lot of probiotics and avoiding antibiotics for awhile, may do the trick. If not, then we will go on to step 2 (which I have no clue what it is at this point). We LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Whinesatt, her new GI specialist. He is very thorough and explains everything wonderfully. In his words..."sometimes doctors try the quick fix instead of realizing that the good Lord knew what he was doing when he made us." What can I say... WE LOVE HIM!!! We aren't playing the blame game and know that if LM had had something wrong with her at birth, the antibiotics would have been necessary. We know that it was only standard procedure for her to go on the 7 day round. So, continue to pray that the probiotics work and thank you again for all of your support throughout this all.
We want to say a special thanks to Aunt Lissa for confirming the fact that we aren't crazy parents and standing behind us in our decision to seek answers. We love you Aunt Lissa!
