Ouch!

Just before bedtime...you would never know he had blood taken that day. He is always so sweet

Over the holiday weekend Landon had some more blood in his spit ups. He hadn't done that since we took him to the ER a few weeks ago. Just Thursday, the doctor gave him the okay to go off the Zantac but for me to keep to a dairy-free diet. However, within one day of stopping the Zantac medicine, the blood was back. So.... being a nervous first-time mommy, I called the specialist back and he put orders in to have more testing done on Landon. So Tuesday afternoon, September 8th we went to the outpatient lab to get blood work done on Landon. There are testing for various food alergens (wheat, soy, dairy, egg, etc), plus they are also testing for bacteria should there be an ulcer. We won't have the results back for a few weeks. Poor Landon though. He had to get his blood taken just like we would out of our arm. He sat on my lap and they tied the rubber band around his bicep, put the needle in his arm vein and drew his blood. He DID NOT like that...screamed his head off. Poor baby. We all know how much that process hurts, especially when the "dig around" for the vein. I felt so horrible for him. He got a yellow bee bandage put around his arm. Little guy knocked out in the car on the way home...he was so traumatized. Now he's got a nasty looking bruise there. Doctor said if test results come back negative they will have to scope.
