wednesday, dec. 8th i took reagan to one of her weekly visits to her pedi. turns out she lost an ounce and actually wasn't gaining from the last week. and not to mention she had been vomitting a lot prior. her pedi had me nurse her while we were there...and guess what reagan did? she vomitted. so the pedi didn't like that and wanted to run more tests. at first she wanted her admitted to the hospital just so it'd be easier and faster to get all the tests done. the dr at the hospital felt differently and wanted us to go through ER. so to ER we went and suprisingly it wasn't busy and we were in right away. they ran their few tests then once a room opened up we were sent and reagan was admitted. from there many tests were run. poor reagan. what we thought would only be a 1 night stay turned into a 3 night stay (i stayed 1 night, my mom the next and jino the last night). so they ran many tests and scans..trying to get to the bottom of her vomitting so much and her distended belly. and while we were there i wasn't allowed to breastfeed so they could see if that was causing it-the protein in the cow's milk that is. so she was on formula the whole time there..not just any formula...but one of the most expensive kind-Nutramigen. then at one point they were saying her thyroid levels were too high and so more tests and scans were done. to sum up an already long summary....they came to the conclusion that she was allergic to the proteins in the cow's milk that was passing through my breastmilk...and once we were discharged we were supposed to go see another specialist-and endocrinologist-but it turned out that the doctor who was making his rounds that weekend was a pediatrician who specialized in endocrinology. he said she was fine. it was a roller coasted ride. lots of emotions. drained physically and emotionally but thankful that i had (have) Jesus on my side cause seriously we both wouldn't have been able to get through it without Him. thank you for your prayers!
