Its been a long time! I'm having blog withdrawals.
I've been so busy.
Well I will try to update as much as possible.
We started Kaiden on the amoxacyllin after finding out about the UTI, but it made him have diarrhea every 10-20 minutes, which is a side effect, so they switched him to bacterim which worked great. He has been off the antibiotics for quite a while now. We took him back for a urine test 3 days after he was done, and it came back negative. So no UTI. This Thursday we have his vcug and kidney u/s. I'm not looking forward to it.
I was really hoping that the lactose allergy was because of the infection, but it isn't. His poop has improved a little, but not a lot. He still has quite a bit of diarrhea most the time. I haven't been able to afford the lactase and the tablets are a big pain in the butt to give him, so I haven't been giving them to him, but have been continuing to breastfeed. I asked his Dr. To put a tar in for medical to cover it, but it got denied. Yesterday I gave him mac and cheese. I figured he was already drinking the lactose in my milk, so it didn't matter. But today he has pooped blood twice. My poor guy! I had to take him in and the Dr. Said its likely from the cheese because its a stronger form of lactose. Something like that. I'm really bad at relaying things. Anyway, I called Dr. Cox and asked if they would put in a tar for the lactase to be covered, and I found a liquid dropper form!! yay!! I'm going to buy one bottle for now, til we find out if medical will start covering it. I don't want to quit bfing and he needs his dairy.
I've been doing good. Still having a real hard time keeping my house clean, lol, but kaiden chases me around crying every time I try, oh well. But I'm feeling happier.
Ethan has been doing great. He's been being my sweet little boy.
We go to the park almost every day, we meet my friend Schelley (she's such a sweety) and her two boys Manny (who ethan went to school with) and Jonas. Its a lot of fun!!
nails got a week and a half off and is now back in school for another 6 wks, then gets almost a month off, yay!!! I cant wait!
We have been keeping really busy having lots of fun!
I will come back and post pics real soon :)
I'm a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful boys! My son Ethan is 3yrs old, and my son Kaiden is 6 months, born August 19th, 2005. As any other stay at home mom knows, its a tough job!! And taking time to relax and write a blog entry and reflect on the day feels good!!
