Change in Addy




Many people have commented about how much Addy has grown lately. It is so awesome! These first two pix are from last April and the bottom one is from last week. The change in the arms and legs is amazing! Her Elecare formula is obviously doing the trick for her. She is getting enough calories and proper nutrition to grow and thrive! Yeah! I took her to the doctor today but they didn't weigh her, I'm sure she's at least 26 pounds now. Last April she was 17. She was 18 when we finally found the correct formula for her in Sept! I took her to the doc today because she has a little rash on her stomach and was running a low grade fever last night. Cooper was running 103! I took him to his doc here in Marshfield this morning for a strep test and it was positive so I thought Addy better be checked. Her strep test was negative (she doesn't have tonsils but she could still get strep). He also cultured her stoma site since it is all red and inflamed. It almost always is but it doesn't hurt to check. He thinks her rash is either a staph infection or impetigo. I call on Friday for the results so I guess we'll see!

Hmmm. We are looking to change Braska off Pediasure for a couple reasons... we're looking at Nutren and some others. Drop me a line if you get a minute and let me know how you came to decide on Elecare. Thanks!!! :o)

She has totally grown since last year. I remember when she was in the hospital and she was skin and bones! Way to go Addy!
