Re: Re:Jordan and 's appt with Dr.H

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I'm still trying to catch up and was waiting to see this post. I'm sorry to

hear that Jordan's weight wasn't good. I have been wondering what Dr. H had to

say about . My niece had to have the Alumentim formula. By the way,

since that formula is so expensive you might want to check into your insurance

company covering that or submitting receipts and getting some reimbursement.

As far as keeping food hot, I think it was pampered chef or even tupperware

(but I think it was pampered chef) that had a pouch thing, that probably held

one of their cookware items, but it kept food warm. I will look into something

for you. My boss always seems to have some kind of hunting magazine or

something that has something you are always looking for. I think the same way

with for next year. This year she's only 1/2 day kindergarten but for

first grade and lunch, the only thing she eats would be either grilled cheese

which by lunch time will be soggy and she HATES squishy food or soup. I could

always put it in a thermostat and have her practice opening it without spilling

it and maybe using a straw or something.

When do you go back to Dr. H with the boys? We are going on December 28.

I miss you and your family. It was so good to see you guys.

Hi Everyone,

Jordan and had their appt with Dr. H yesterday. Jordan lost about 1

lb from last visit. He went from 16.8 kg to 16.6 kg. His height improved - it

went from 104.6 cm to 106.2 cm. He was sick over the weekend - vomiting and

diarrhea and hardly ate anything but a piece of toast and 2 crackers for the

whole day. His diet has also changed since he started school in Sept. Since

there's no way his lunch can be heated (unlike his other school) I send him with

a sandwich everyday which isn't as much calories. Before I would send him to

school with rice, nuggets, noodles, broccoli, carrots, hotdogs... I need to

find a lunch box or some device that can keep food warm for a few hours. Any

ideas? Please let me know. Because of his weight loss Dr. H put him back on

Periactin. Can anyone using periactin tell me how their child reacted to it in

the beginning? I am afraid of the mood/behavioral side effects since he's

having some trouble in school already, and the drowsiness. Dr. H wants him to

take it before breakfast and dinner but I wonder if he will be sleepy in school

after taking the morning dose.

Dr H prescribed Zantac for and advised us to change the formula to

Alimentum. I started giving this to yesterday and he does not like it

one

bit. On the can it does state that it does not look or taste like milk or

soy. It takes so long for him to take a few ounces. Dr. H also said that it

looks like he has allergies to something because he has eczema in the crease of

is arms, neck, and foot. That's another reason why she suggested we switch

formulas. If there's no change, then he needs to go to GI. His height is much

better than his weight. He weighed 6.1 kg and has been this weight for the past

3 weeks. He's slowing falling on the curve. Dr. H doesn't think he has RSS

though. I'll keep you posted.
