Clarian Arnett Hospital
Saturday, we noticed blood in Jared's diaper, so we took him to the ER after being told to do so by the nurse hotline. We brought in the diaper from earlier that we had noticed the blood and they tested it to see if it was in fact blood. It did not show up as blood on the test so they told me to take him to his pediatrician Monday for a follow up visit to be sure everything was okay. He ended up having another blood diaper Sunday afternoon and then as we walked into his doctor's appointment Monday. Luckily, that diaper was fresh enough that the test showed that it was blood. The doctor checked him out and he is otherwise perfectly healthy, so he's having me stop eating all dairy products for this week to see if things get better. If so, then Jared may have a temporary intolerance to cow's milk, which apparently is pretty common with newborns. I never realized how much of what I eat contains milk! Hopefully my poor little guy will get better soon! Its so pitiful to see him screaming bloody murder with those bloody poops...
(this picture was actually when he dropped his pacifier during a bath, but you get the idea!)
OH that is so sad-his little crying face. I hope that he gets better and that everything is ok. Little babies are just so precious!
