Thrush & Fuss

Figured out earlier this week that Tyler has thrush (a very common yeast infection in his mouth), so we started treating that with oral antibiotics (Nystatin). It is administered by "painting" it on his tongue 4x/day and that's been going well, except for when I spilled it all and had to get a new prescription for it!

We've continued to work on the formula thing, and that's been a continuing challenge. Last I posted, we were on Similac Advance. He still seemed fussy so we called the pediatrician's office and the nurse recommended to try Similac Isomil (their soy formula), so we did. This was Wednesday. Since then, he hasn't had a real poop. Seems to be trying to work things out, but no progress. He is continuing to be hungry, so that is a good sign, but we're still concerned about the no-pooping thing. We called the pediatrician's office again today and talked to a different nurse. She gave us a couple of options for getting things moving, and also said to try the Enfamil Gentlease formula - she said she wouldn't have recommended the Isomil and would have recommended this the other day. I made a quick Target run to get that plus a few other things for him, and hopefully this will all work out soon.

Aggie went to the vet yesterday, and is all healthy. She had something wrong with her eye (I think one of the cats got her) but the vet looked at it, and it seems to be healing fine. The cats go today.
