Well, wouldn't you know, yesterday Addy tolerated full 100% Elecare feedings all day. I gave her 4oz. water bolus and she spit some of it up. It definitely wasn't a vomit, just spit up. She had her last 4 oz feeding last night and was fine. She was sweaty throughout the day and lethargic, but otherwise ok. She had to have Prosobee today because our sample of Elecare was gone. She was fine until 10 am and she fell asleep on the floor. At her 11:00 feeding she got in 171 mL then started projectile vomiting. Her nurse called me and I told her to stop feeds and let me know what happens. She had two really loose stools and vomited three more times. I came home at 2 to take Jarika to the ankle surgeon (she is dressed all in black for Senior color spirit day for Homecoming week), Scott came home to keep Addy. Doctor called at 2:30 and wanted to see her at 4 so Jarika and I go one way and Scott and Addy go the other.
Jarika Update:
Jarika got a new ankle brace, weighted x-rays and is having and MRI scheduled for sometime in the next couple weeks so we are still in a waiting game!
Addy Update:
Doctor thinks that her system is messed up due to the changed feedings etc. Her electrolytes are probably off. Was not dehydrated at the time, making tears and saliva. Ordered blood word so off we all went to the hospital and we will get results back tomorrow so for tonight we are giving her 2 oz. of Prosobee every 2 hours and he will call tomorrow with results. The GREAT news though is this:.......
Weight 19lbs. 12 3/4 oz!!!! Woo hoo! Even having three days of vomiting in the last two weeks she has gained over a pound since August 19th!

Oh Addy what are we going to do with you? Stomach stuff is the worst. It can wreak such havoc on the body.
Poor Addy. But, through all of this she gained, go figure.
Not to forget about Jarika, wishing her the best also.
Oh goodness, poor sweetheart. Hopefully the doctors right and it's just the change. If you go back to the Elecare, you may just have to take it slow for a while.
Her tummy might not be able to handle her usual volume.
When V has any GI stress we usually have to go to slow continuous feeds then work up to small bolus feedings.
Hope she feels better soon.
Oh Addy, please feel better. I worry about you.
Oh We want the smiley Addy back please.Poor love.Their sensitive little systems.Wish that something could go easy for these kids.Doesn't seem fair.Praying for a better day tomorrow.
OH NO! Poor Addy! I hope that she comes back around soon and that the pukes STAY AWAY! Hang in there! And, YAY for increased weight!!!
Bless her little heart. She is a hearty and hardy little soul and cute as a button :) Hang in there girlfriend!
