Erin so kindly asked how my little Amelia was doing...I forget these days whom I've updated and whom I haven't so I'm sorry!
In the last two weeks we started tests--she's done: 5 viles blood for everything you can imagine including things like diabetes and Chron's, urine analysis, stool analysis and an abdominal ultrasound. So far everything has come back negative. At the beginning of May we have a lactose intolerance test done. 2nd week of May we have a reconsult with the doc and if she's still having probs she will see a GI specialist. We will also weigh her at that time to see if she has continued to lose weight or is steady/growing.
Poor bub. She tells me that her tummy hurts almost all day, every day. Some days worse than others. At this age (7) they can't entirely communicate well. and you don't want to keep focusing on it to make it worse for them and you don't want to ignore it, either.
She continues to do very well in school, thank goodness.
Will update again when I know more in a few weeks!
Thank you for all the kind thoughts and the prayers!
