December was an eventful month in our family, as I know it is for most. Unfortunately, the weeks leading up to Christmas were spent fighting illness in our house. We visited the ER three times with Asher, twice at the direction of the pediatrician, due to a prolonged stomach virus. After two iv's, bloodwork, x-rays, and an air enema test, the GI specialist suggested that the virus destroyed the enzyme which digests lactose in Asher's system. So, we switched to soy formula and he is well on his way to gaining back the lost weight. Poor baby, he was such a trooper! Sitting in the pediatric ER is such a humbling experience. We are so blessed to have a healthy child and are very grateful for insurance.
