Formula Trial

Lucy's first ballet class at her new school was tonight. It was GREAT! She absolutely loved it. This class was so much more lively and fun. There were hoola hoops, scarves, and even a smattering of tap dancing involved and Lu was completely exhausted by the end of it. It was such a dramatic change from her old school- which was dry and disciplined. Lucy enjoyed her old school just fine, however, I decided to switch based on some other issues I had with the school itself. It seems like my decision paid off and this one will work out much much better for her. Although, I have to say all the other preschoolers in this class looked like giants on steroids compared to Lucy! She was at least a head shorter than most of the girls in her class!

We start her formula trial tomorrow. This could be a long process before we know if we are in the clear or not. We will only start her off at 1 part diluted Elecare to 2 parts diluted Neocate 1+. Additionally, Lucy is only at a rate of 42 cc's an hour- which is less than an ounce and a half per hour, so I just don't know how long it will take to see her gut completely reject things. Things certainly could be bad by bedtime tomorrow, but then again they may not be bad until 4 or 5 days into this whole thing. The hope is that things won't go bad at all and that by this time next week she will be completely transitioned to 100% Elecare.

I am crossing my fingers for tomorrow and leaving the rest up to the Lord. Hopefully this is a smooth and easy process for Lucy, and if it isn't I hope I can make the right choices for her so that she can be well.

As always, thank you for checking in on Lu! I will update whenever I can with her formula trial.
