Dad, Mom, and me leaving the hospital!
Me telling Julie how awful that Portagen stuff is
Hello Everyone! I returned home from the hospital! It is so great to be home, and hang out with Boscoe again! Unfortunately, as soon as I got home, some of my same problems arose that sent me back to the hospital in the first place. I was having a really hard time eating, so Mom, Dad, and Julie were getting worried, and were trying to think of answers as to why I ate so well in the hospital but not at home. Some of their hypotheses included: 1) maybe the temperature affects my appetite; 2) maybe the water source affects the taste; or 3) maybe I'm allergic to something at my house. We even thought we may have to replace the carpet ... which my mom wouldn't be too opposed to! After about an hour of conversing, they decided to research my formula on the internet. The results they found were astonishing! It turns out that when I was prescribed the Portagen formula, the health care professionals didn't inform us that the dosage on the can was different from the prescribed dose! So, for the past week, Mom and Dad have been feeding me some very THICK stuff! I tried to tell them this, but they just didn't understand. After they all realized the probable cause, a million different lightbulbs popped up in their heads. No wonder I don't like to eat at home, and only at the hospital! No wonder I have a risk of being dehydrated! It was crazy how all these problems I have been having are finally making sense!
Me telling Julie how awful that Portagen stuff is
It has been approximately an hour since we have come to this conclusion, and I already consumed my portagen more efficiently than I had been. My parents were happy about finding a probable solution to my problem, but are still quite upset that they had to do their own research to find any answers.
So, I am signing off now with hopes that I will continue to show improvement, and aspirations of becoming a detective some day.
Hello Everybody!
Love,
Lydia

Lydia,
Well, I sure am glad that your parents (and Julie) are so smart. Too bad the 'specialist' hadn't thought of that.....but we're not gonna focus on that, we're just happy that it seems to be figured out and now you can get to work on recovering in much more comfort.
Maybe the carpet thing is an option too?! ;)
(there you go, Jackie, maybe you'll get some 're-decorating' and you can say it was Lydia's idea)
It's always nice to upgrade the surroundings when it might help a child.....Max's dustmite deal has gotten rid of a lot of our carpet.
So, anyway, I'm glad you 'got your detective on' and found some answers. We are continuing to pray for healing and strength for all of you.
Love you lots and lots,
Uncle Andrew, Auntie Jenness, Marty, Michael, Maxwell, Maggie, and Maddie
Blech. Nothing worse than thick formula! I hope this is the solution (ha ha) - and I'm glad you're eating better. Keep at it wee girl!
