Hello everyone! I havent been able to update in a while, and actually i dont even think i have any pictures to put up today...sorry...
Things have been so chaotic here..my last update i told everyone about the throwing up/reflux issues we thought Clay had but the doctor wouldnt listen to us...well, last friday...he started not eating. He refused to eat at all, he would only suck on his pacifier and sleep, everytime i tried to feed him he would scream bloody murder. I got through the weekend forcing what i could down him and we went to see the doctor on Monday. She made me feel dumb of course, and seemed to just go along with me and gave us a prescription for Zantac. Needless to say he hates the medicine...i tasted it-it smells like mint and tastes like mint/licorice..ugh, so he spits most of it out...im scared to mix it with formula because he already associates eating with pain and i dont want it to get worse because its tastes worse...so..ive given him mylanta supreme cherry-its the only one safe for infants because it contains no aluminum and talc...this morning i mixed the mylanta and zantac..and he still spit it out but i got a little more down him , and today hes eating better...
We also switched his formula to Soy...ugh...it smells sooo bad...but he took the bottle with no fuss...so for that i am thankful. If things arent better we have to go back in 1-2 weeks for a weight check and to maybe adjust his medicine. Next step is a special care formula, which is exspensive...and then maybe a pediactric GI if things get worse. I pray that things dont get to that, and im hoping he will grow out of whatever is wrong...
He has definitely inherited my side of the tummy, i was on Soy formula and me and everyone on my side has tummy issues..and will can eat shoe leather...lol..so...
oh and he also has what looks like an infection in his eye. his tear duct is clogged (has been since he was born) and it looks as though it has gotten infected. so he has bright green crust and goo on it 24/7..he is taking eye drops for that. :(
Will is off for the 4th and i am making an american flag cheesecake i think and we are gonna get some sparklers for Carly and make some smores, so im excited for that!
Will is going to be gone most of the month of July to a school in another state-so please say a prayer for us that Clay will be better by the time he leaves..im already nervous about taking care of everything by myself with no help-BLAH.
Other than that we are good...lol...
I hope everyone has an awesome 4th! i should have some pictures to post the next time. :)
