Milk Allergy

So the current prognosis is that Trey has a milk allergy, which means that he can not tolerate the protein found in milk products (including breast milk). He's still in the hospital but getting better. He's finally started keeping some food down and is starting to loose some of the extra fluid he's put on, which is a good sign that his body is recovering. It is so frustrating as the Drs still aren't sure if he's has this allergy all along or it just happened b/c he was sick and his body was trying to recover from the cold and ear infection. Jessica mentioned that even when they leave the hospital the Drs say that once he fully recovers that she can try to introduce milk again to see if this was just a temporary thing or it is something that it will take him years to outgrow. For now we are keeping our fingers crossed that he gets better and even if it is a milk allergy he will hopefully outgrow it while he is still young.

Thanks for all your well wishes.
