The Buckingham Blog

As I have said before, she's not been well with a diarrhoea bug type thing.  Well it went on for ages and i took her to the doctor last Thursday.  They think she has a temporary lactose intolerance and as a precaution (with my stomach problems, her lack of weight gain as a baby looking like lactose problems and my brother Jamie having Crohns Disease) have referred her to the childrens hospital.

That seemed to be clearing up, but when I got back from the Hen weekend on Sunday, things had taken a new turn and she was crying every time she did a wee and thinking she needed to go again 5 more times in the following 10 minutes. 

Monday I gave her cranberry juice and made sure she drank lots of water.  I didn't want to be dramatic Mummy back at doctors so soon!  But by yesterday I gave in as it hadn't improved at all.  They took a sample (it was clear) and some antibiotics.   Time will tell if that does anything.  Poor kid has had weeks of hating going to the toilet.  Not that you'd guess all this from the photos eh?  How rose tinted things can seem sometimes on a blog!  She's spent the best part of this week crying her eyes out.
