We went for a weigh-in this morning and Cameron has gained 6 ounces, hooray! I think my magic mom instincts have figured out what's wrong with Cameron - I think he's lactose intollerant. We've cut out dairy from his diet and have switched him to Lactaid milk and it seems to be helping with his poops. We still have one more stool sample to do and we're still going to go to Oakland and go through with the CF test just to be safe. A little piece of mind is worth the drive. Cam's doctor says it's very rare for a baby to lose that much weight with a lactose intollerance, but Cam could be a little different. Wouldn't it be great if that's all it was? He also ruled out celiac disease (wheat allergy), which is a relief. I'll give an update on Thursday as we hear more results. Thanks for checking in with us and for your prayers. We have another weigh-in on Friday, 6/12, the day before we leave for vacation. Hopefully by then all our fears will be abated.

Hello Dunbars,
I am sending all my healthy kid vibes your way. He's lucky to have two such loving parents.
Keep us posted.
Love,

Hey there! Both my girls had severe milk protein allergies when they born, that they outgrew around age 2. It's a much bigger deal than lactose intolerance. If you think that's it could be that, make sure you read all labels because there is a lot of hidden dairy in food. My girls both still drink soy milk.
We'll be thinking of you guys!
