More Diarrhea!
Yep you guessed it! It is Bekah! Before Bek's last virus a month ago she started getting diarrhea and honestly we thought it was just because she had been on so many antibiotics lately but she just couldn't recover. The dr sent her for the fun stool test because he thought the diarrhea should've been gone even if from antibiotics. The stool test came back normal so we just put her on probiotics for a while. Then Bekah had the surgery and went on another antibiotic that actually usually slows her down but this time wasn't so we began to worry it could be giardia again! After recovering from surgery we felt we did what we could including the BRAT diet but it just came right back. We also started noticing her pants not fitting any longer. We figured after 4 weeks the dr would finally take the matter seriously so we took her in. After being weighed we found she lost a whole pound already which is a lot at her age and for someone who is already way under weight! So the dr agreed it seems to be all the same characterisitics as the last time and put her back on the nasty made to order Flagyl to treat giardia for 2 weeks 2 times a day. After 2 days we have already seen amazing improvement. She now sleeps all night again and has no more diarrhea and only 1-2 stools a day again! Yeah! We hope this does continue to work and she stays healthy for a long time!!
