I hope this does the trick Kat!! He stays in my prayers as does your whole family. We will spoil the sh!t out of all of them soon!!

Hopefully this will help him Kat. I pray it will. You and your family deserve to be peaceful, happy, and healthy.

Sorry it's taken awhile to post here, I just don't come onto the boards like I use to. I check the PM's then I'm outta here.

But I do love you...I think you know that. And I will keep praying for Aiden.

Aiden is very lucky to have such good docs. Hope the formula helps, and quickly. The poor little one had more than enough already.

aiden couldn't tolerate the formula. i'm sad to say nothing has changed - he still cries and screams almost constantly. i get so damn angry that he hurts so badly and no one knows why. i requested another full abdominal scan but they said that was already done with the upper gi. i feel they're missing something significant and i could be wrong but i feel another scan may reveal the source of baby boy's pain. it just isn't fair.

I'm so sorry Kat. Stick w/ your gut feeling....no one knows that child better than you. Just a thought, but have you googled "colic" to see if maybe there is some kind of advice, info or remedy or something that might help him while you continue talking w/ the doctors? I don't know.....I wish I had an answer for you.

Damn, Kat... Are there any other diagnostics that can be done besides the scan?

Kat, do not give up. You are the mom, trust those instincts! if they won't do something, find another doc. I will continue to send healing thoughts and prayers.

I want to continue to send prayers and healing energy his way. I hope that they find out what it is soon and he makes a speedy recovery.

sending lots of love and hugs to you and your family,will keep you all in my prayers.

Kat, I read above where someone mentioned colic....When our son was only about 6 weeks old, he had colic something terrible and the doc switched formula's probably 4-5 times and did the upper GI thing. Finally my mom,.....good ole' mom....said, put that boy on regular milk! I did and it got better, but then she read somewhere to try Acidophilus milk. I finally found some and tried it....a complete turn around!! I was worried then that he wasn't getting enough nutrients and stuff, so we started mixing single grain cereal in his bottle of milk. (We had to make the nipple holes bigger), but that did the trick. Don't know if this will help or not, but if you are like I was, I was ready to try anything. I did have to have one of the local groc. stores special order the milk for me, because it wasn't a very good seller, but they did it without any hassles. Good luck and keep us posted.

aiden has gained 5 oz since last wed!!!

thank so much for all the support and advice. ya'll mean the world to me.

fantastic new kat...
huggggs hon

Hope he keeps up the progress!!! Always in my thoughts!

's Great News!

I'm glad he's doing better now, Kat. You all will continue to be in my prayers.

I have a question for you though........ Have the doctors checked for Pyloric Stenosis? I doubt that is what it is since he is now gaining weight, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the question.

Pyloric Stenosis is when the Pyloris, the valve at the base of the stomach which leads to the intestines, is partially or completely closed.

My oldest son had that. He cried non-stop for weeks from about 2 1/2 weeks old to 5 weeks old when they finally figured it out and operated. Anyway, he also could not tolerate breast milk nor just about every formula we tried. It didn't matter what it was that I fed him, he threw it up after a while. Turns out that he had Pyloric Stenosis and his pyloris was completely clamped shut. Anything he was fed just sat in his stomach and then eventually came back up, projectile style. He was slowly starving to death and there was nothing I could do about it. Then finally one doctor got smart adn figured it out and by about 6 hours later my son was out of surgery. He is now almost 8 years old and it seems as though he hasn't stopped eating at all since they fixed him when he was 5 weeks old.

Anyway, it's just a thought for you to keep in mind incase you need it at some point.

s to you and yours!
