First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and encouragements! It's nice to know that other people have been through similar situations and that you have people thinking and praying for you. I really appreciate it!
So, the past few days have still been enduring tummy aches and a lot of vomiting...no change there. Today was our appointment with the naturopath. I was really excited, feeling like he would definately help me get on the right track. I left the appointment feeling encouraged, helped and happy! He said that Landon looked perfectly normal, great weight, great coloring, and he sat and listened (unlike the other doctors) while I told him all of what we had been experiencing with formulas. He told me that to some extent it was a normal thing, but the severity of it was a bit of a concern. Apparently in boys, it is WAY more common to have stomach issues. So, he probably does have an allergy to milk, but he is a little to young to tell. The naturopath gave me a formula recipe that he swore is tried, tested and true and that would solve all of the problems of tummy aches and vomiting! Now instead of powder or concentrated formulas, we are using rice milk and adding a tiny bit of oil, and some liquid pediatric vitamins. Landon has only had it once today, so I can't really say if its working or not, but he sure did like it! We'll probably know better by the end of the day or over the next few days how well it is going. I will definately keep you posted! But, I sure feel good about it and it was sure nice to have someone acknowledge that I wasn't going crazy and that I did have a legitimate concern!
We leave for Palm Springs on Wednesday afternoon and we are VERY excited! Sunshine here we come! I will definately try to update while we are there, but if I can't, I will post lots of pictures and vacation stories when we are back!
