Movin' along

Hello! Not much has been going on. We saw the GI doc, who recommended a prick test again for allergies, and ordered a lactoferrin stool test again. If the numbers are still high, he wanted to put Logan on some anti-inflammatories for his gut. We also did get the prick test done--came back completely negative. So, we keep chugging on. Dr. Montes did say there could be an allergy in the intestine that won't show up in the blood. Dr. Morgan(Naturopath) also said that because Logan is so young, and the antibodies haven't had a lot of time to build ( usually by 18 mos. the inflammatory response can be seen) He isn't surprised at the lack of response. Logan has been growing slowly and steadily. He had gained another pound, and 1/2 cm on his head circumference. While he is still well below the growth chart, he is still tracking on his own curve. MOm felt the pound was awesome considering he'd had a cold and the stomach flu. That was in February. Logan again had the stomach flu the first part of March. Lasted for about a week, after a few days, had already lost that pound. Poor kid couldn't hold anything down but ginger-peppermint tea with slippery elm and chamomile. We put him on Zofran to help him keep things down. It went through the house but never to the extent he had it. We went to the Naturopath again on Monday, the 15th, and he had gained it back and then some! Yea Logan!! There are constant ups and downs with this little guy, but I guess if his overall progress is up, we are o.k, right? He also started to sip at water (still makes a face like it is the worst thing ever) and juice. He also ate some homemade bread. He normally won't touch the bread. We are loving the fun he brings, and the challenge to rise to some pretty awesome heights and gain some pretty amazing knowledge.
