No Dairy Diet Day 6, 7, 8, and 9

Not too much to update on here, but more of the same. Elem has not been eating any dairy, or cheese, and no or little butter that I know of. We have been trying our best to keep it pretty much same foods every day, to keep it simple. He is eating mashed potatoes (as always), turkey sandwiches, crackers, animal cookies, waffles, bread, pasta noodles, etc. No milk at all, and no yogurt. But sadley, still about 2-3 diarrheas daily. I believe on day 6 he had a regular BM. Wahoo! Wahoo! But no latter than same time day 7, he was having a bad one. So maybe a good thing again maybe a fluke. He is feeling pretty good, still cutting those 4 molars. I have also tried to cut back on the juice, just to ensure it is not too much for him. I am trying to push water, and he has increased his H2O intake a little bit. Just trying to balence it out, no more of one than the other, since those are his only two options these days. I am hoping to see some sort of a change here in the next few days. The minimal results so far were as to be expected by me. By the end of next week, if there is no change then we will choose something else and most likely make an appointment for a pediatric allergist screening. Kinda drreading that one, since Elem is now super afraid of all doctors and their many tools. :) I cant imagine him sitting still for someone to do a bunch of little pricks on his back and or arms. We will see. I have many blog updates to do including Race for the Cure weekend, trip to the fair, Uncle Spoons Birthday, and some great videos of Elems newest tricks! So I will try really hard to complete one tonight, and the rest by the weekend. I have been swamped at work and need to complete a few more projects before I can have play time on the computer. :) Peas-

Hey Mindy...My sister knows all about the kids being scared of doctors. Macy now knows when they are even nearing the office, and she freaks out! She always just has some little gift for Macy that helps to distract her while waiting for the doctor and everything. Poor little guy...hope you don't have to go to the allergist. You are being such a great mom, btw...with all that you are doing and keeping track of. I am so proud of you and cheering you on!
