Donny is already 7 1/2 months old!! We've been going through some changes -- not just developmentally, but with diet and medications. UGH!Donny is scooting all over the place. I thought the army crawl was funny when Braelyn did it, and it's still funny to see Donny pulling himself around with his arms. One of these days, he'll figure out that his legs will help him to go much faster! Donny has discovered that the receiver box under the TV is one of his favorite toys. I think he's ready to push some buttons. :o)
Over the last month or so, Donny has been switched to 2 different formulas. The Ped. changed us to Similac Alimentum at first, but Donny refused most of it. The little bit that we did get him to take came right back out. I got to wear the bottle's contents more times than I'd like. We've finally settled on a soy-based formula. He's now using prescription strength hydrocortisone on his face and some prescription cream on the rest of his body.
This week we went for a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician to see if the changes we've made have helped. Donny's skin has cleared up quite a bit, but it still has some pretty bad flare-ups occasionally. We don't really know what's causing it. The doctor sent us for a full food allergy test after our appointment. Results came back normal - no food allergies.
Now, we'll be seeing a dermatologist next week. Hopefully, he'll have some insight on what we need to do.
As you can see, Donny doesn't seem to be bothered by all this. He's such a HAPPY baby! Who could ask for more than that? :o)
