Not really... but it feels that way. I remember coming home with my newborn baby. I was so exhausted. He cried, and cried, and cried some more - Then, on occasion he would take a breath and he would throw-up or have major gas. I look back and have no idea how I made it through the first six weeks of his life. He never slept - I am not kidding, I mean NEVER slept. When he did finally nod-off it never lasted for more than 15-20 minutes and he was screaming all over again. For the last day and a half, we have been back to that scary dark place again. Braxton has been screaming his head off - constant crying and lots of gas. He wakes up every 2 hours (okay, so it isn't quite as bad as it used to be) screaming. He is throwing up more and that rash I hoped I would never see again has re-emerged on his beautiful little face. He has the same cough that he used to have - a dry cough that you can't quite put your finger on. I know what this means: it's the Creon. I had such high hopes! We are officially pausing the Creon trial. Maybe I gave him too much (a "sprinkle" to me may be a "dash" to someone else). Maybe it is just too soon to try it... I am second-guessing myself as I type: Maybe I am crazy? No, I know what this looks like - we lived with him like this for so long! I hate FPIES! What does this mean for when we are supposed to start thinking about adding a probiotic?! I am so tired of him failing everything! He has done well for 5 or 6 days, and now this?! Well, it's not the end of the world. We will move forward and continue to try. I can't wait to get the blood results back from PCRCD - maybe we will have more information at that point. For now, I will look on the bright side. He has gained weight and length since we got back from NJ - like a lot of inches and a significant amount of weight. He is now officially in 6-9 month clothes and he is officially 6 months old (he was in a 0-3 until he was 5 months old!). Life is good and we are blessed, but for now - no more Creon.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteYou've probably already googled this, but when I searched to find out what Creon was, I got this website. It does sounds like Braxton is having a bad reaction to the Creon.
Love,
Nonna
