Long night

We had a really long night (or REALLY early morning) at our house today. Addison woke me up around two in awful pain. After many baths, lots of prayers and plenty debate around 6 am I finally called Phoenix Children's Hospital and talked to the on call G.I. specialist. His opinion of what we should do is wait until the Dr.s office opened and talk to our own Dr. OK!!! Why do they have Dr.s on call to help when they are about worthless. So we waited until 9 am and left a message, of course, and around 10:15 the nurse finally called me back. "Go in for another x-ray" she said. Then she managed to find a nurse practitioner to fit us in tomorrow. That helps!!! Maybe you have to become callus when you are a Dr. but when a mom continues to call the DR. about their child being in terrible pain and they send us for another x-ray and a Dr.s apt. days from now, what else is a mom to do? So we finally decided it's time for the Homeopathic route. Clint's brother takes his little boy to one that they like so we are going to try it out. Hopefully they will be able to help us.

Bless her heart! That has to be miserable for her. Not to mention what it must feel like to be her parent and not being able to help. Good luck. I hope that you find answers soon.

Ohh man, break my heart! Good luck.. I know a lot of people out here who have gone the homeopathic route with their food allergies (not as severe as Addie's I'm sure) but they couldn't be happier with their results.

Oh dear! I hope you find her some help one way or another. That has just got to me MISERABLE. When I read these posts about her troubles, I can't help but think back to when she was born and how little and CUTE she was (I was there, remember?) and how she had trouble even back then keeping food down and gaining weight. I'll keep her in my thoughts and hope she feels better VERY soon.
