Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 hi everyone thanks to all who gave advice on sofie + her bad spell. things have improved a bit with no thanks to the doctors in our life. they just upped the dose of lactalose! that to us has had no real effect, i think she really needed something to clear her system out when things were at their worst. by chance my usual health visitor was off so a different one came to check sofie's weight ( another sore point with our doc!) + drop off n/g tubes, she saw sofie having one of her crying spells, all hot sweaty and agitated. first thing she asked what formula sofie was on, apparently the one i have been using is well known for constipation so with sofie's low muscle tone it certainally wasn't what she would recommend. she's recommended a different one, and advised not to dilute the prune juice as much, on leaving she warned us it could take 3-4 days for a difference but within 24hrs sofie showed a great improvement. yee ha! the weight thing! every week our doc gets a weight report from me yet he has only when seeing sofie at a check up we requested noticed how heavy she was! she should be about 6-8mths old for her weight not 4! apparently fat cells absorb the meds so they don't work as well as they should. the dosage was creeping up every 2-3 weeks and they still didn't notice. anyway i've had my vent for tonite thanks for listening take care + have a lovely christmas everyone fiona + gary, sofie pmg + caitlin with wings,pmg --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
