Emma was having alot of diarrhea. I knew it was not CF related because she was not having the usual signs (it was not smelly, her tummy was not bothering her, etc.) I called the dietician at the CF clinic and we both thought it might be due to teething.
The diarrhea seemed to be getting better, but then worse again. We had an appointment at the CF clinic on the 21st to have her Infant PFT. I decided to bring a diaper along. The Dr and the dietician checked out the sample. lol! And they decided that we needed to add additional powder to her formula, because due to the volume of formula she was drinking (35-45 oz a day) she may be drinking too much water.... which may make her stools watery.
But just to be safe, they would run some tests on it too. Guess what... to everyone's suprise her stool came back with C. Diff. So we are treating it with Flagyl.
Emma has always been really good about taking her medicine. I squirt it in her mouth and she swallows it. But this stuff must taste really bad. She has learned how to spit it out. Any suggestions on how to get a 5 month old to take medicine?
Emma seems to be feeling fine. She is not cranky. She is always such a happy baby. It really makes things so much easier. How can I be sad when she is smiling and giggling?
I am waiting for a call back from the nurse today about Emma's lung culture. I spoke with her on Thursday, but it was not done yet. She did say that it looked like a little something might be growing. She said it may be staph again.
