I took Owen back to the doctor yesterday for what I thought was thrush. He has a diaper rash that is indescribably terrible and has has very loose stools for a little over a week now. We did not see Dr. Brady though. The doctor we saw tried to send us home saying it was just a virus and the rash was "probably for no reason". I had flashbacks... I knew something was wrong with my baby and we were being sent HOME?!? I (and Grandmother) insisted it was something serious and not to send us away. Long story short, his stools contained blood and mucus again. The little bit of dairy we had been instructed to give is reacting with him. Therefore the allergy (that "normally" goes away around 1 year) is still hanging around. We are waiting in more cultures to determine what bacteria is in his system. We are also going to an allergist on August 28th where they will do a prick test to see what foods he is allergic to. While a life without milk, soy, butter, yogurt, and all of the items made with those ingredients will be difficult, we will get through this. It seems nothing is ever easy. Your prayers for all of us are appreciated.
