After Victory

And the big news this week is that Sarah is most likely allergic to cow’s milk protein.  We found some blood in her diaper and took her to the doctor.  She hasn’t been particularly fussy.  You would think that if she is having that much intestinal distress she would be screaming her head off, but she isn’t.  Apparently it could take up to two weeks for the dairy to clear my system and hers, so we won’t know if my elimination of dairy is helping until then.  If she is still having symptoms after two weeks, then I take her back to the doctor and also cut out soy.  Luckily this type of allergy is something she should grow out of by her birthday and isn’t related to any dairy allergy she may have later in life.

Cutting out dairy is hard.  Thank goodness Sarah is so cute and gives me a huge smile every time she sees my face.
