Kady Update

Before the holidays we were attempting a liquid diet only for Kady...water, and "special" formula.  When she got sick two weeks before Christmas and completely boycott the liquid diet, only 4 days into it,  we decided to feed her and try again in a few days.  We noticed at that point she didn't want anything to do with her Rice Milk either which she's been on and been a huge fan of for almost a year now.  I called her Allergist and he insisted we stick with the liquid diet and offered us samples of a different brand of "special" formula.  After telling him about her dislike for any form of milk (rice or formula) he insisted we put her no a restricted diet meaning, chicken, beef, turkey and vegetables only.  That doesn't sound bad although she has become an extremely picky eater over the year.  The only way we've gotten her to eat those things in the past is by cooking it with something or in some type of marinade making it more tasty for her.  This restricted diet would not allow us to do that.  Not knowing what to do, we decided to wait until after the holidays to do anything and here we are.  FINALLY,  after repeated attempts over the past few weeks to get her drinking her rice milk again, she is!!  Step 1 accomplished.  Some time with in the next few days we may give this liquid diet another go.  There really seems to be no other options at this point so it's important it works this time.  Lord help us!!
