  • Good morning

    Yesterday was rather longish.  We had to run to Port Angeles to drop off Rainee's *cough* "gift" to the lab.  It had taken a week for her to deposit said gift.  While there I also got Kaylin's thyroid blood work done.  I'm waiting to hear the results for those.  Usually Dr W has called by now...so I'm not sure what that means.

    The fructose intolerance diet is a total bust.  We saw ZERO results.  ZERO.

    And last night I let Rainee have a apple fritter from Safeway and she was the best she's been in quite a long time.  And didn't go hypoglycemic on me either. 

    So we are quitting.  Its just been a total bust in my opinion.

    We are discussing between Rob and I lactose intolerance, so we will pick up some lactaid on payday (tomorrow) and see if it helps. 

    I'm totally frustrated with the doctors in regards to this, and am guessing we either live with the status quo, or I fight for them to listen.  Its been awhile since I've fought for Rainee, and I'm...tired.  Her quality of life is not what it was before April, so I guess I need to get into advocating mode and move on.   *sigh*

    In good news We officially have five kids registered for baton, along with my five that makes a nice squad of ten.   I'm thrilled about this, and I think I *might* have two more.  So we shall see how it goes.    We will start next Tuesday.

  • I hope you can find out what's going on -- I remember feeling more than a little freaked out when this nurse went on a long tirade about why Sophie has eczema. I was so panicked about having to find what she was allergic to and stuff and then... I just covered my ears, ignored the nurse and found what was right for Sophie on my own. LOL. Darn it!

  • You have had to fight doctors from the begininng why would this be any different, Heaven forbid a doctor should actually listen to the mother/patient!!  I guess you could go health food nut on your whole family and see if it made a differnce.  I thought you didn't use milk so how could she be lactose intolerant?  Its seems odd unless she is like Katie and eats exorbant amounts of cheese.  Katie started throwing up for no known reason and we finally tracked it to the string cheese I had gotten several bags of on sale.  She ate so much that she developed an intolerence for any cheese including on pizza.  Jonathon also went through a phase like that when he was little if you remember because he threw up in your Geo on the way to the midwife.  Ah the joys of parent hood!  We are trying to correct Sarah's little constipation issue by forcing as much fruit as possible on her.  It seems to be helping but I never know which fruit she is going to like.  There is lots in the fruit stands right now and its pretty cheap.  I'm just not used to driving out of the way to get something like that.  If I can't get it at the grocery store I tend not to make another stop.  Would you like a box or two of apples and/or peaches though when we come over?  They are 50 cents a pound and I can give them to you monday? 

  • Hope the baton goes really well! I am sure it will!
