We're going on just over 3 weeks of Ayla feeling pretty well. She had a cold in there somewhere, including a fever, and we swetted it a bit since viral infections in the past have very possibly triggered flairs, resulting in horrible illness and requiring extensive hospital stays.

She has been rather fussy on and off for the past week, but she looks pretty amazing. We question whether she's teething, her belly hurts, or perhaps she's simply asserting herself more.
NG tube is still in place. Wednesday of last week I fed her chicken broth via NG tube. She awakened that night crying quite a bit, and has done so every night since. Could chicken broth really hurt her belly???? Since then we have gone back to an exclusively Elecare diet. I think I may start her on broth again but just a tiny amount at first.
The visit to Dr. Cowan was interesting. He wants to put her on the GAPS diet, fermented turmeric (anti-inflammatory and probiotic), a therapeutic grade probiotic, thuya (to reverse negative vaccine affects), and low dose naltrexone. He also would like to see her weened off of her current immunosuppresive meds: Imuran and Remicade. Ayla's GI doc supports all of this except for the naltrexone and getting her off the other meds. I haven't started her on any part of the new regimine yet and am still researching and debating in order to decide what to do.
The adventure to walking has officially started!!! Crawling is still the preferred method of locomotion...rather, holding onto the hands of Mommy or Daddy is greatly preferred, ensuring that we really will won't get anything done, ever!
