God this is gonna be a standing joke in years to come, lol
For those who've followed my diabolical journey that now, to be quite frank, I can do nothing but laugh at for fear of going sodding mental... I am off to the doctors again this afternoon because Amelie's now wheezing after feeds... yayyy :/ lol fuck sake.
So... to recap, she's on neocate, has been for a week now, think it's a milk protein allergy but nobody's entirely sure.
Anyways she's been still having allergic reactions after feeds of this, some things are improving but others are getting significantly worse.
Her symptoms are as follows:
- Hyper, uncharacteristic behaviour/fussiness
- Plenty of wind (although comes with neocate aparently but had even more before we started this)
- Spitting up with feeds, sometimes contains mucous because of the....
- Snuffles! Only happens after feeds, and sometimes wakes up with it worse as 9 times out of 10 she falls asleep after feeds... obviously histamine making all this worse which sometimes refrains her from being winded as she's just zonked out, the poor moo
- Dry scaly eczema looking skin on eyebrows that's now appeared beneath her nose and ears, she also grabs at her ears and seeing as eczema is an 'inside to out' job then that's probably that. She had it on her cheeks but that appears to be clearing up.
- Puffy, watery eyes
- Drowsiness
- Sneezes a lot
- Hives that appear on her face, neck and now started to appear on her body which when she scratches them bleeds.
- Now wheezes after feeds - hence the serious concern to take her down the doctors!! Here's hoping if I write out this list they'll listen...
After her sleep at night times she wakes up and looks perfectly fine - my normal, happy lovely dosile looking baby! But get some food in her day time and she just gets steadily worse. Bowel movements I dread - the worst reactions are when she's passed these but then the improvement shows the next morning so it's kinda like... shit in one hand, wish in the other n see which fills up quicker, y'know?!
But seriously, if I come back with nothing, I will actually kill someone, probably of a professional healthcare standard. Or i'll just ring up NICU and talk to someone who wants to fucking listen. Assholes lol check me getting riled up and i've not even been yet! (After last week's escapade who can blame me?!)
Right, so... advice or... wish me luck!
