Thoughts and Prayers

So last Friday Boston had his 4mo check up. It didn't go so great. Most of you already know Boston is the King of spit up... sometime whole feedings. At his last appt. they put him on Zantac in hopes that he would gain some weight. 2 mos later he's only gained 3oz, and I was told I could no longer breastfeed him. I immediately went to tears. I know there are people out there that prefer to formula feed or do both and I don't judge them at all, but to me nursing is everything. I cried both times I weened the girls and it was my decision but to be told I can't nurse Boston and at such a young age I felt like someone was snatching my baby away. But the bad news didn't stop there. I had nursed Boston while we waited for the Dr. and as the Dr. came in with some sample formulas Boston started his usual routine of puking all over the place. When the Dr. saw how much he actually spits up he said he wanted to refer us to a pediatric G.I. Specialist. Oh and it didn't stop there either, as he continued with the regular check up I felt prompted to ask about his soft spot. The Dr. looked at me funny and asked what would make me think something was different I said I didn't know it just didn't seem right. He checked it out and then left to get a second opinion, the 2nd Dr. came in and checked out Boston's little head and the consensus was that he needed to have an ultrasound done on his brain. They didn't get to into it since I was already a wreck, and they didn't want to freak me out even more, but his soft spot is raised which makes them think there is added pressure or fluid. I wasn't sure if I wanted to share what's going on with everyone since it is so up in air and we don't really know what's going on. But it has been a real emotional weekend for me and I can use all the support I can get. So if you could just keep Boston in your thoughts and prayers and I'll update on his situation whenever we can. Todd and I are grateful that our friends the Coils are going to watch the kids for us so that we can go to the Boston temple this Friday. Boston has also been placed on the prayer role at the Medford and Portland Temple in Oregon. Another thanks to those that have helped us out this past weekend with blessings, prayers, and moral support. So just a re-cap it will be a few weeks before we can get him into the GI specialist and his appt. for the ultrasound is this Friday but we may not hear anything until the following week. Thanks again
