So the switch to the new formula ($165 for a case of 4 cans that last maybe 10 days) didn't go so well... Adelina was still giving about half of it back to our floors and clothes. The next step was to start her slowly on the EES medicine (Erythromycin) and we saw immediate results!! For the first time she wasn't getting sick! We're keeping her on the new formula just to be safe since it is already pre-digested.
Of course a few of the side effects were working against her - diarrhea, loss of appetite, cramping, etc - so we're glad that we took our time building her up to a full dose. Mealtime is still a struggle, but she's doing better and hopefull will put some weight back on. There was no weight gain to report for the month of December :P We're still at 14lbs with no teeth and/or hair!
Her follow-up is scheduled for the 22nd of this month with GI, so we'll figure out where to go from here. The kid can't live on a constant flow of antibiotics! We're hoping for NO TUBE and a better solution...
She also goes next week for a behavioral hearing test - maybe this time she'll know her name???
On a funny note - I went to check on our little sweety (she was supposed to be asleep in her swing), because I heard some noise. I walked in the room to find an empty swing... she managed to wiggle out of the straps and lean forward enough to reach the floor. She must have rolled and crawled her way to the window - I think she has cabin fever more than any of us!
