Looking for answers..

Tonight we leave to go to further South and stay with family so we’re closer to CHOP ( Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia ) for Sweet Baby’s doctor appointment.  We’re hoping to get answers.. hoping to that we don’t have to start a journey that involves testing to find a diagnosis.   When any parent first feeds their child they never think that food can harm them.. it’s a living nightmare..  Just last night while I was eating dinner Sweet Baby looked over at me signing more.. She put those two little chubby hands in perfect position to do it and it killed me.  Why can’t I give her some?  She doesn’t understand that it will make her sick.. she turned away and played with her toy and pretended to eat.

We have been trialing banana as we think it’s safe for her to eat without issues and she gets a little bite each day.  She gets so excited and squeals “num nums nanas!”  My heart!  Tomorrow will begin a new chapter for us and while we don’t know which way we’ll be going it will most definitely be in the right direction.

  1. Oh my gosh, I didn’t know this was happening! Isnt it the WORST when you can’t give your child what they want and you feel like you are rejecting them?

  2. Poor baby. I really hope they can find something! Not that I want you to get bad news but just the whole thing about not knowing is horrible! My daughter is 12 and has been dealing with stomach pains for a couple of years now – no idea what it is. It’s frustrating and, like you said, it hurts to see them not be able to enjoy something so simple.

  3. I can’t even imagine the emotions running through you right now, I just pray the doctors will be able to find out what the issue is and you all can adjust quickly and painlessly to the solution. Poor sweet baby.
