Looks like she was better

I really thought maybe we were improving yesterday. Friday afternoon we went back to the pediatrician because all of the stool tests run were negative, including C-Diff and Rotavirus. She is still pooping foam. I kid you not, it's like acidic foam. As we were waiting on the doc I was letting Addy lay on the table bare to wind (which we've done several times this week). The nurse couldn't believe how bad she looked. Once the doc came in (our ped is still on vacation) she was also not pleased with how bad Addy looks. She was frustrated as well because she's just not sure what's going on. She ordered another set of samples to look for Giardia and other illnesses that could be caused by being exposed to sick cattle, exotic animals etc. We don't think that's it but you never know. We do live in a rural community and Addy's favorite place to play on the playground is the dirt box. Who knows what's in it! As the doc was checking Addy over she started to have some stool and the doctor just watched as Addy cried and pain and the foam overtook her poor little raw bum :( She said she has NEVER seen this before. She's been around for at least 16 years that I know of so she's not a newbie. She prescribed Cephalexin and Diflucan to help with possible infection of her diaper area.

 Yesterday morning Addy woke up not crying and was walking around a little bit more than she has been. She still  was very sensitive to sitting and being held had to be the way she positioned herself. We had to go into Springfield to drop off her specimens at the hospital and she seemed to be the happiest she's been in days so we dropped by our DSGO picnic. Addy hasn't really been out of the house except to the doctor and a quick trip to Panera Bread so she needed the sun and fresh air. She was very excited about the swings :) I was a little afraid to put her in because I knew if would hurt. However, girl does love to swing so she sucked it up and swung away! Once in awhile she would grimace so I knew she was still hurting :(

It was so nice to be outside and hanging out with some of our favorite people :) Addy also LOVES Louie from the Springfield Cardinals. He was a hit with just about everyone :)

Once we got home she was back to crying and whining and crying, she was pitiful, she does NOT feel good. I made the mistake of Googling "foamy diarrhea" and if what I found is any indication, it could possibly be Addy's gallbladder. She has all of the symptoms. So, if these current tests are also negative then I'm going to request we are referred to a local GI (somehow) and ask for some images of her gallbladder and intestines. Something is definitely wrong!
