Well yesterday I was on a rant. I think deservedly so. I have just had my fill of these doctors going back and forth and being so wishy-washy.
Today and last night it has been so hot and humid here. Johnny can't take these conditions. He has a very hard time and we are giving him more water so he doesn't dehydrate. Well he doesn't throw up as much we have found out, but there is a problem. He realizes how more water makes him feel. A lot better I would surmise. So he doesn't want to take his formula any more. This I know is what the doctors where worried about. Well here we are and now what do we do. You could say it is our fault for giving him more water but if we didn't he would be in the hospital dehydrated. Now though I imagine we will go because he will not have enough caloric intake. Really, we are at the same point we were just without a dehydrated baby. He threw up all his caloric intake before because he was dehydrated and couldn't keep it down. Maybe now since he is keeping down what he takes in we are in the same position.
So we have to take him in to get the test redone so they can figure out which DI he has. Then I would imagine, while we are there, they will want to keep him and do there trial DDAVP medication for CDI. I do not think I will let them. I am going to push to treat him as a NDI patient. If we treat him that way till we get the test results it will make no difference. He will be in the same position he is now. If we treat him with the DDAVP while we wait then he could be in a compromising situation. He could get dehydrated without his diaril.
I think that is the best way and I can't believe that the doctors would have a problem with that. It seems like the safe way to do things to me. Since the last test came back with a number that suggests the test may have been manipulated by the meds he was taking at that time.
So wish us luck for this scenario to go as planned and maybe in a week or so we can have some definite answers and a plan of attack. Later and Be good!
Thinking about you three and sending lots of love.
