Star: CamdenSupporting Actors: Daddy & Mommy
It's been FOREVER since I blogged. I've been busy doing "Mom" things and one of those things included being in the hospital. Sadly, my little baby was admitted at Clarian North this past Sunday. Talk about nerves. Camden has been having such a tough time digesting his food properly. I could go on and on about his symptoms and all the different ways we've been trying to improve these conditions (medications, new formulas, oatmeal, burping after every ounce, etc, etc, etc.) but again we could be here forever! The important thing is that the doctors think he had a protein allergen to his formula thus we changed his one true love (milk) again.
This time he is on the SUPREME, ALPHA, FIRST-CLASS, or what the French would say "SANS PAREIL" of all formulas: Nutramigen. $$$$$$$$$. This formula doesn't joke around, it's expensive and I mean expensive. To top it all off ... Shouldn't expensive things smell great? Not this cream of the crop. It has an awful smell. I'll compare it to water: Normal milk formula: Tap Water/Kroger Brand water. Soy formula: Dasani/Aquafina, Nutramigen: Voss/Perrier/Fiji. Get my drift? When it comes down to it...this stuff better work.
This hospital visit hopefully will help Camden feel better and live a happier life. After I was told to take Camden to the hospital by his pediatrician, I was calm, collect and ready to figure this out. However, once we reached the hospital, the flood gates released. I knew I needed to hold it together for Camden and my sake but it was just so hard having him in a hospital bed (crib). I knew it was for the best though. I knew Camden's life wasn't at risk by all means and I thank God for that. There are so many other babies out there that are suffering from life threatening illnesses that I feel so blessed that Camden's situation was fixable and less severe. With that said, I still think it's the worse feeling in the world having your little baby admitted into the hospital. Hopefully, this was the last time.
On a lighter note and less expensive, Cam Cam is going to get his 3 month pictures taken next weekend.. I know I know.. we'll be two weeks late at that point but things have been chaotic around here. I'll be sure to post the new pics. Until then, God Bless and much love!
