results

I received a call from Ethan's gastroenterologist yesterday afternoon with his test results. As our many results have been before, they all came back normal. When I met with the dietician again on Tuesday, she told me to push milk and milk products to help Ethan get extra calories, fat, and protein. Ethan has always spit milk out, but I thought...we'll try it again. Tuesday evening through last night, Ethan was absolutely miserable. He screamed all day and had stomach problems as well. All he wanted was for me to hold him (and even then he still cried). When I talked with his doctor I told him all the trouble he was having with the milk, and as of now...we're pretty sure he has a milk intolerance and his body cannot digest it properly. So, we're off all dairy products for now, but may introduce cheeses and yogurt slowly after awhile to see if it's just the straight milk itself that he has problems with. So....I pray that this is the answer we've been searching for for 15 months now. Time will tell. If this is it, then what a blessing! This is totally treatable! Thanks for all of your prayers and support.
