Catheter for Baby H:(

Went back to the Dr today.  Sweet Harper is back up to 10lbs 8 oz, which is great!  That was her weight 3 weeks ago, but at least she made it back up there.  She has been a pretty happy baby this week, but we still don't have her pooping under control.  By tomorrow we will strictly be giving her soy formula, and totally off Nutramigen,  which is another praise since we couldn't afford that one anyway:)

Dr. Scott decided to cath her to see if she had a uti.  He said that could cause her to poop more.  I could hear the nurses outside upset about having to do it.  Who wants to do that to a month old??  It was pitiful,  but thankfully didn't take long.  Her urine was fine so while a good thing, we still don't know why she is going so much.  So now....I am to cook rice in extra water and use that water in her bottle to give her more starch.  The starch will hopefully slow her down.  I take her back next week.  If she is better we will just weigh her, if not she will have to see the doctor.  Praying that she will be better!!!

  She also has a rash on her face and neck which I thought was baby acne.  Turns out it isn't and all the stuff I have been doing to make it better....just made it worse.  I can't spell what he called it, but we are using hydrocortisone twice a day to take care of it.  I had forgotten just how complicated and stressful babies can be!!! 

  We are supposed to have a neighborhood yard sale this Saturday.  Of course it is supposed to rain.  Maddie and Turner are ready to sale snocones and we need the money.   We also have a gymnastics party that afternoon.  The kids love anything at River City!  Hoping for a fun sick free weekend!!
