Guest guest Posted November 10, 1999 Report Share Posted November 10, 1999 I am sorry you are having such a hard time. Sounds like you are having one of those pull your hair out times. They can be so awful. I think about you often and keep hoping you will find some answers. I am sure they are out there, just very elusive at this point. I know you will hang in there because you love your baby. (they are always our babies, no matter how old they are) I hope you can find some quiet time for yourself. Or maybe taking a drive and turning the radio up full blast and screaming at the top of your lungs. It may help you relieve some of that stress. You need to take care of yourself, so you can take care of Alyssa. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 1999 Report Share Posted November 10, 1999 With (he doesn't have the eosinophil stuff, but does have food allergies) we have to start out w/ pedialyte first, then 1/4 strength formula w/ the rate at 30 ml an hour, leave it like that for 2 or 3 days, then go up 1/2 strength at the same rate, then full strength at the same rate.... Stay at each rate for 2 to 3 days as is tolerated. We are trying 's stomach again as his gastric jejunal tube came out last Friday. I heard from a mom who also has the Zevex entralite pump about doing feed intervals. We feed 30 ml for 2 hours & then give his stomach an hour break, then the pump starts up again on his own. So far it is working wonderfully.... If you need help give me a call . Hope this helps, Rhonda, mom to 2, & Haven 5 P.S. Hang in there..... & scream if necessary.... Haven & I count to 10 when we've had enough & scream as loud as we can... then laugh... then laughs w/ us.... I know it sounds crazy, but really helps.
