Elaine...no you didn't make me feel bad. I just completely forgot about that. I have to wait until things are back on the upside before I pick on her some more!!
UGH!!! I don't want to work.
We finally solved the Uric acid problem with Ethan. He was still showing the uric acid crystals in his diapers so i decided to go on to the Parents.com bb and see if any one else had that problem since they had a nursing forum. The answer I got was that it was caused by dehydration. I wasn't convinced so I contacted the La Leche League to see what they said. The woman emailed me a ton of questions and said that he was probably becoming dehydrated. She told me to check the soft spot to make sure it wasn't depressed, I thought it felt fine. But since all of his bottles had rice ceral in them b/c of the reflux I decided that he might not be getting enogh liquid. Sure enough by last night his soft spot was very poofy! and there were no more crystals in his diapers. So for a while he's going to have to deal with the part of the reflux that is not being helped by meds
I guess this is why the dr said to call back if it was happening in every diaper. Had i listened I would have avoided the search for the answer b/c she would have told me! chslk that up to another brain dead incident!
Any way I better finish pumping so i can get back to work!!
