Heres to catching you up

On July 12 Makenzee Jayne was born at 11:29 pm. She weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces. Everything was good!!!!



Within in a few days Kenzee strated getting crankier and crankier. She was screaming anytime she was awake. We went to our pediatrician and she said she had colic. Well the crying was all day and REALLY bad. So we went to the ER they did blood work up and sent us home and told us to check in with our dr the next day. We checked in with the dr at our office and he said she has GERD and started her on Zantac. He also wanted to try no milk proteins in mom's diet since I was nursing. Then on July 29th the hospital called us back and said some of the blood results came back questionable. So they admitted her to the hospital to watch her. By the end of the week things were looking better.

On August 10 they changed her medicine to prevacid. A couple days later they decided that the amount of issues she has been having leads them to believe she is allergic to moms breast milk so they took her off of it and put her on Nutrimagin and started adding rice cereal to help keep it all down.

On August 18 we finally saw a GI doctor because our pediatrician felt it was more than they could handle. She changed the formula to EleCare which is really expensive about $30 to $50 a can. Because of the reflux they want her staying at least a 30 degree angle all the time. She seems to be doing better now with this.

She also has developed possible seizures so the GI dr referred us to a neurologist. He ordered a MRI and an EEG. The MRI cause she has a knot on the back of her head that was of concern and the EEG for the tremors she is having.

Kenzee ended up having a few bigger tremors on Monday and Tuesday of this week which were or concern to the neurologist. So he admitted her into the hospital.
