Special Boy

Walter and I attended his gastric specialist appointment on the Monday after Easter, with the greatly needed help from Lindsay.  After the exam, he determined that Walter is suffering from a milk protein allergy.  We also have to eliminate soy and whey from his diet as well.  Dr. Tuft did say that MOST babies grow out of it by the first year.  Here is hoping right.  He is currently on a prescription only formula...amino acid based.  How scrumptious does that sound??  And how expensive?  Thank goodness for our Tricare insurance.  I thought that I would NEVER say that, but it covered all of the cost.  So, it actually turns out to be the cheapest formula that I can buy.  

On a shocking note, Walter gained almost two pounds in three weeks.  He weighed in at 18 pounds 12 ounces.  He is still 26 inches long.  GOOD GRIEF KIDDO!!
