So as we approach week 3 home I have to say our daughter is as close to perfect as one will get. The first two weeks were full of running all over. This all started out with very hard stools that led us for an x-ray. The x-ray of a 5 month old moving showed something which I asked "could this be at all because she was moving?". This led us to an ultrasound. No I should tell you I went to school for this and she has beautiful insides :). I felt good leaving the hospital as I did not see a thing that while the tech was busy taking pictures and measuring. So off to the gastroenterologist who said she was beautiful. Ok he also said everything looked good but he wanted to do stool samples YUCK...
Turns out after going off regular formula to the pre digested (way to expensive) she got diarrhea and bad gas. I then tried soy and in less then 24 hours the hard and I mean hard stools returned and blood again. Ok so we are not on Enfimil Nutramigen and doing better. Odd was the 2 weeks in Vietnam with her on regular formula she was fine.
So you think we are done yet? No way my pediatrician is gonna find something. Our daughter has a funny shaped head that in the last 4 weeks has changed. Most baby's have flat heads while hers is flat on the side. Yes another doctor. We were referred to Children's Hospital Los Angeles and they got her in right away since our doctor told them her soft spot was fused. Seems the top Neurosurgeon spent time in Vietnam as he talked more about Vietnam with me then the baby since he said she is FINE again :). I so wanted to call my pediatrician and say told you so...
So we are now looking for a new pediatrician and enjoying our 3rd week home with our daughter. She i
s a doll and full of smiles. Thank you Vietnam for my little treasure we are in ahh.
