hey girls

I've been living on a short fuse too. Poor Matilda has copped it the most in the past 24 hours. I'm feeling pretty crook today so DH is staying home. I've got a sore throat and sinus pain.... I've had it on/off since Saturday so hopefully a day of more rest will help. I've got my MCN's on a line on the verandah... contemplating putting them in the dryer, they've been out there for 2 days. I have so little, my BBH order is coming in 2 weeks.

We had our first MCN (cloth nappy) poo yesterday. Thankfully Jovie's on solids it went well.

To not overbore those who have read or heard, I'm very sorry but I feel I should explain. Matilda has cows milk allergy. I've only just found out 2 weeks ago (in hindsight I should have known.... but we all know about hindsight & mothers guilt). She has a severe milk allergy and instead of reacting with anaphalaxis it results in damaging her stomach. She's over 3 and Jovie's poo is more formed than hers. I've taken her to the GP 3 times in the past 2 years for loosing weight and not formed poos. We ran a blood test that was normal and a lactose intolerance test which came back negative. She's not lactose intolerant, she's allergic to milk... its different. Well, she's been on milk since she was 18 months old and on dairy products since she was 9 months. She stayed on formula for longer because I was concerned about the runny poos and introducing cows mlk. Anyway to make a long story short, because she's been having something she is so allergic too, its done some damage to her body. She is now anaemic and has some thyroid issues. apparently if we can get her gut healed we can repair all of that. So in 5 weeks no we have more testing to check on how she's going.

In the meantime I can't get anything into her that will help her... the iron the probiotics... anything. So I get stressed, she gets stressed.... long long battles... ah well. What works one day won't work the next.

Then things like this morning, she does a poo and there is rice from dinner in it. Thats not supposed to happen.
