He's All Better

I know lots of you are wondering how little Korver is doing. It was his formula that was the problem. We had him on Enfamil and they switched him to Similac Alimentum which is a hypoallergenic formula. Also very pricey. $25.94 at Wal Mart to be exact. And that's the small can people. He goes through about 2 small cans a week. You do the math. We're thinking about putting those little donation boxes around banks and grocery stores so people can donate to the Feed Korver Cause. Kidding, but honestly that's a lot of money for one tiny can of formula. Korver is well worth it and we're so glad he's feeling better. We're also glad it was an easy fix. He reacted to it in about 4 hours, which is really good. Sometimes I guess it takes 3-4 days before you start seeing results. And they weren't going to let us leave until the bleeding stopped.
Here is the little guy all hooked up to the monitoring machines. Korver was so good throughout the entire hospital stay. He was content and happy. Just like I said in the post before, you would never know anything was wrong with him unless you looked at his naked bum.
I just want to thank everyone for your support and prayers and kind words. I know they helped. We are so thankful for modern medicine and really smart doctors. Within an hour or so the doctors at Primary Children's had everything all figured out and narrowed down to what they thought it was. We were thankful to be up there where they could monitor him and make sure that he was okay.

I'm glad he's home and they were able to figure it out. the price of formula is ridiculous. Even all hooked up he's still a happy little guy.

That is dang pricey-so sorry. Is there any way your insurance would pay part of it since the Dr. prescribed it? I'm probably reaching a little- but you never know. Good luck.

I'm glad your little man is doing better. I don't think there is anything scarier than having kids in the hospital.
PS. I'll watch for those donation cans ;)

I cannot believe the price of that formula. I am so glad there are nice people out there to do things like what they did for you. He is so adorably cute!

Isn't it horrible that they charge rediculous amounts of money for things that are a neccesity? I hate that. He looks so darling and I am so happy that he is doing better.

oh no :( I am so late to the game. Sorry to hear about his scary hospital stay, and girl, I am RIGHT THERE with you on the Alimentum dollar signs. it's ridiculous.

I did end up buying it in bulk online, and that seems to be the best way to go (diapers.com).
