So here we are back to where we started from. Micah's skin looks terrible, only his back remains clear. He is very very itchy and uncomfortable and waking almost every hour at night. Very depressing and I cried today for the first time in a couple weeks. The sister missionaries rang the doorbell for a discussion practice with us. But I was upstairs with a squirmy, greasy (I was lotioning him up) and crying Micah and crying myself so I didn't answer the door. I feel so bad.
We've been designing our own formula and one of the carbohydrate sources we planend to use was banana. So two ngiths ago we tried the skin senitivity test: we put a small piece of banana on his skin and covered it with a bandaid. in the morning we checked the skin under the banana, no rash so we had the green light to try banana. Yesterday morningI blended up banana with his days supply of formula. Not only did he not like it (no surprise) but he had 1 explosive poopy with strange looking curds in it and a nasty smell. Then later in the day he had watery diarrhea. Guess that's the end of banana for a while.
I am exhausted. Yesterday was one of those days when literally walking up the stairs winds me and at some points in the day I think to myself, "I cannot do this for one more moment." But of course I can so I do.
Today I ordered ingredients for his formula: probiotics, free amino acids, blue green algae and nucleotide complex as well as zinc.
