Does it ever end?

Last Monday Jacob had a GI apt. He had lost 2 pounds. So the doctor and us had a feeling he was not absorbing his formula like he should...and decided to change him to Peptamen 1.5. It's more broken down, and should be easier to digest. It didnt go so well...he ended up in the ER on friday dehydrated...and needing to wear his backpack from Thursday afternoon till Saturday morning. We've gone back to a mixture of Nutren 1.5 and Nutren Jr...and Praying this will work. Yesterday he only threw up at 1 feed, and retched badly at 3. Much better then throwing up at 4...We have not weighed him since this fiasco started...but will tomorrow. Daycare had us come get him on Thursday cause they were afraid he was sick sick, not just feed sick. Thankfully the ER checked him out... Xray of Head, Chest and bowels (he hadn't had a poop since Tuesday) and all was fine. He did finally poop on Saturday...5 times. So he was backed up some...but it was pretty normal, and not hard...so not bad.

Hopefully all goes well today...and he tollerates (as to be expected) his feeds at school and daycare. Mom-Mom is on call this afternoon...since I have to work. They were short a closer for today so i'm working today, and getting Sunday off.

I have a few cards to buy...and a bank to stop at...so off I go before work. Keep our little man in your prayers. Also add in Kerie, Hannah and Jack & Aunt Judy...And Grandmom Anthony. It's been rough all around the past month they all need all you can give.
