My Poor Baby, My Poor Wife

January 19, 2006 5:47 pm

My poor little Zoe has gone on the monster gastro-intestinal roller coaster ride of her life at only 3 weeks old. Heres the deal – Apparently, Zoe is Lactose intolerant. Something that she gened up from her momma, (I never knew) so after the poop coaster hits its all time squirting high, we were told by the doctor to switch to Isomil (soy based). Tried that for a week and a half, until Zoe’s diarrhea turned into constipation and a rash on her cheeks. Back to the doctor, more advise, the soy stuff still has milk products in it (huh?, what? wtf?)

Do says

You don’t want that kinda expensive stuff, you want that REALLY EXPENSIVE STUFF!

Its called Enfamil® Pregestimil® To the tune of $10.00 a 32oz bottle. Should be called Enfamil Liquid GOLD! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Help me. I almost put a stocking on my head and ran into the safeway to rob them (he, he, GIMME ALL YOUR Enfamil® Pregestimil®!!!!!!!, not the regular stuff idiot! the Pregestimil®, and some diapers too!)

Doc says 2 to 3 days ’til we see a change in Zoe’s dispo. Anyway, Poor Momma, Zoe’s gastro-coaster has caused Kris to get no more than 1 1/2 hours of sleep at a time. I’ve been trying to fill in the gaps but it seems Zoe is immediately comfortable with Momma and not with me. Hmm, could it be my gastro-intestinal issues?

Zoe is definately worth the strech in jail for robbing the local Safeway!

Man, that sucks. So sorry to hear about her gastro problems. Hopefully the new stuff will work good. Can’t believe its that much money. Glad I never had to deal with formula. Tell Kris I’m going to call her and hopefully we can stop by sometime this weekend. Its been a crazy week.

Sorry to hear about that, at least you know what the problem is. I have some friends that are dealing with the same thing with both of their kids.

Care to comment?
