Trey's still not feeling well, but going home!

Trey's been on the prescription formula for over 24 hours and is still throwing up. This formula has the milk proteins broken down to the amino acid level...not sure if you all remember chemistry but this is the shortest form of protein chain. The soy formula on the market is broken down to only the peptide level. But, his milk allergy test also came back negative so who really knows what is going on with the little guy. Trent told me though that there is a high rate of false negatives on those allergy tests. Trey's last three stool samples came back good (no blood) so the thought is that the new formula is working and his intestinal tract is just still irritated causing him to still throw up. So they are sending him home to only be treated on an outpatient basis! Hurrah! Keep your fingers crossed that he stops getting sick and continues to recover.
