Kai and his sickness

As some of you may know that Kai was at Children's Hospital for a few days. He came home Tuesday and is doing much better. Kai started his sickness Easter morning and wasn't getting better. He had an upper respiratory infection and also ended up with an ear infection. He was put on antibiotics. He ended up with having excessive diarrhea. He was crying pretty much all day long for about a week straight and wasn't tolerating regular feedings. After being to the doctor 4 times in one week and talking to the clinic on the phone a couple times on top of that, we decided that we would just take up to Children's. We knew that something just wasn't right. Levi called the nurse line at Children's Sunday night and she said that he should probably be seen. So we headed up there that night. They ran a bunch of test and everything turned out fine. Basically they think he got a nasty stomach bug. They were explaining that sometimes with a stomach bug, that it can do things to the lining of the stomach I believe is what they said. And that in turn can make one lactose intolerant. Plus with him being on so much antibiotics in such a short period of time. So they have temporarily switched him to a special kind of formula, taken him off of antibiotics and he is on some probiotics. He seems to be doing better. We have to go for a follow up appt with the GI doctor up there in about 2 months. I'm glad that we decided to take him in. We just didn't seem like we were getting anywhere down here. I really believe that a mom has to follow her instincts ;) Kai is doing much better. He is full of his smiles today. So far today has not really had any diarrhea. He even went to Therapy this morning for about an hour! It is so great that he is feeling much better.
