Evi Update!

Time for an Evi Bean update!

Our little girl is doing well considering she's been quite uncomfortable : ( We're still trying to pinpoint what the problem is but we're moving in the right direction, or so we hope. She's experiencing 2-3 hour screaming spells a couple times a day where she is inconsolable and clearly in pain. She's had blood in her stool after two formula changes which indicates a milk/soy protein allergy. We're now on Elecare which is an amino acid elemental formula. We're also going to start treating her for reflux today. I'm sure anyone who knows Sophia, remembers that she had very severe reflux. Evi doesn't spit up very often at all but instead swallows it back down. Her breath smells terribly of stomach acid so we're pretty certain she is experiencing silent reflux. All in all, a pretty sad thing for us to see. It's tough to see your little one in pain and not be able to do anything to help them but we're confident we'll figure out some solutions soon!

Despite all of this, she is becoming more alert every day and is so very, very sweet. It's fair to say we're in complete love!
