Parasite It is!

Posted by familyafair on April 22, 2008 at 10:21 PM

It's confirmed, Nathan has a parasite. He thinks he picked it up in Reynosa a couple of months ago at a not-so-clean restaurant and is now calling it his "little pet". Well, the little pet has caused vomiting, diarhea, severe headaches and sharp stomach pains. Hopefully it will be knocked out in the next two weeks with his medicine regimen.

Deacon was x-rayed today to see if there is some type of blockage in his digestive system. He has been vomiting for about five days now although he is not losing everything he eats. The pediatrician said it is abnormal for infants this young to have such forceful vomiting. The x-ray was inconclusive so we will return later this week for him to drink the special fluid that will show up on the x-ray. Please pray for our little man.

Averic is also being treated with medicine for what the dr. thinks is bacteria in his stomach making certain parts all itchy. So..for once, Benjamin is the healthy one of the bunch and Mommy hasn't been affected yet either!

As for the pictures I refered to in the last post..it didn't work. Please bear with me as I try to figure out this website. I'll attempt to put them up again when I get a chance.

Love, Amey

Is Deacon drinking formula? I remember my mom telling me that my oldest sister had that forceful vomiting. She had to change her formula. <br>Also, about Averic- My little cousin had itchy parts. She always sucked her thumb, which was not clean being a small child. Anyway, she had pinworms. I am sure you know all of this. I am no mommy yet, and you have had three. Take care, Nathan!
