So the surgeon says Kiersyn's cyst is uncomplicated and wants to wait a month before surgery so she is a little older before anesthesia. I may push it later because she may have to go up to 8 hours without eating before the surgery and she is not capable of that right now. In any event - good news, and for now I'm not even going to think about how she will have to be put under and all of that. :(
Kiersyn continues to be extremely sensitive to ANY changes in her diet. She has reacted poorly to milk, soy, cereal and now we have realized she is actually reacting to the DHA/ARA in her formula. Her prescription formula comes in two forms - one with DHA/ARA and one without - she has had both and until now I didn't realize it was contributing to her "bad" days. I didn't even know it was POSSIBLE for synthetic dha/ara to cause problems. If you formula feed your child or plan to - I strongly urge you to read this article concerning the USDA's call to ban the addition of synthetic DHA/ARA to formulas. We will be seeing a food allergy specialist who treats several disorders than can cause ALL of Kiersyn's symptoms. Though I probably shouldn't put it in writing - this should be the last new doctor we have to visit and one we stick with for a long time...
Danley is at camp this week and we are staying with my parents which means Kiersyn has had time to work on a new skill!
I had a dream about Kiersyn last night.
ReplyDeleteDream *I'm in a high school pageant and I'm getting dressed when Christina Agulara comes over and casually asks me if I want to see her baby. I say sure and then I go over there. You and Baby Kiersyn are there and I'm exclaiming how cute both babies are when I say, "Oh wow, Baby Kiersyn and Christina's baby should get married because they both have dimples." You guys both laughed.*
Obviously I've been watching too much of The Voice and Toddlers and Tairas. And obviously I'm dying to meet Kiersyn... so when Vanessa came over I asked her how we could go visit you this month. How does July 22 or 23rd sound?
