Claire update

We went back to the doctor on Monday and Claire's ear infection was worse. She now has a double ear infection. Hopefully she will not go down the same road as her brothers with a slew of ear infections and then finally tubes. Her stool also tested negative for blood so they are concluding that she has a milk allergy and I cannot eay dairy products (fun!). I am glad though that it was only that-she could have also been allergic to soy. The doctor said I didn't even have to stay away from whey, just actual milk products like milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. I think I can do that. Claire also still has reflux and we got a prescription for something to help with abdominal pain. We only use it when needed, but it is supposed to help relax their digestive system so they won't be in so much pain. We will see how it works, but yesterday was a great day! No long periods of fussy time, just short periods here and there. And I don't blame her w/ her ears and reflux alone would make her fussy. Anyway, here are a few pics of her this week. I know the bow is way too big, but we got it in the mail last week from family friends of Todd's and I just thought it was too cute not to try on.
