STL was ok. He thinks her main problem is major food allergies and it's causing everything else (crying, not pooping, reflux). Aside from the food allergies, he is looking more into liver function. The first time she had blood drawn her liver protein was low and this last time she had it drawn (2-2) her liver enzymes were high. I have no idea what that means but he said it definitely warrants blood work. He's trying to get all the slides and actual scans from her tests at Children's Mercy (not just their results) and look over them. Once he has those and the blood work is back, we'll have to go back to meet with him and the allergist on the same day. He mentioned her most likely having FPIES. I also just found out yesterday when talking to my grandma that her mom had a lot of liver problems and she specifically remembers it was something with liver enzymes. My grandma also lost her first baby because she was still born. They did an autopsy and it was determined that she died for liver problems. They didn't investigate it any further because at the time there was no need. So that's about it for now! When STL calls with the blood results I'll let them know this info. Who knows...maybe something is connected? I don't know! :)

In other news, Ellie is starting to army crawl. She's getting to be pretty quick. I told Josh I think in another two weeks she'll be crawling. I'm not ready! I forgot how much you have to keep off the floors! Before I know it she'll be walking and then graduating high school!

And yesterday, Emme decided that she needed to take a purse with her...for the first time. *sniff sniff* She's too little to want to take a purse with her, right?! It had all the essentials though; a car, her watch, a few rings, a pretend snake she named "Silly Snake", stuff like that. Kind of weird but yesterday was the first day Emme took her purse and yesterday was the first day Ellie said "mama". She just says it when she wants me. She'll go "mamamamamama". It's different than her normal babble because that is usually just "babababa". I love it!

Well, I need to go lay on the couch. I've got a killer sinus infection.
