Wow. Thank you for keeping us updated Brandi. I'm sending her a whole new batch of butterflies to keep her protected! I'm also sending some to the medical team so they can find the answer *and* the solution.
Big hugs,

I hope they can find an answer soon. Maybe the new doctor will be able to fix this. At least she is not in pain and can do all the normal kid things. I'm so sorry you and your family have to go through all of this, it must be very stressful.

My mom used to tell me that when I was born, weighing in at a bit over 9 lbs
, a friend who came to visit burst into tears. Her own little girl, then a year old, was smaller, developing ok otherwise, but just couldn't put on weight. Well, they finally worked out that she couldn't drink milk. Once they figured out what she could and couldn't eat her health improved and she grew like a weed. Let's hope this new doc comes up with a solution for your little niece as well, and quick!
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

I am really hoping it is something like gluten or milk. That would be wonderful! And we could get some weight back on her. I will wait to post when we have all the test done and stuff. I feel like i have made you all go on this roller coaster ride with me.
She had a wonderful 3rd birthday last week. They went to disney Land. She loves it there!Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

I don't know about the rest of the folks here, but nobody can make me go on any roller coaster if I don't choose to go!

Another thought. Sometimes a dramatic weight loss means you've also lost a lot of trace minerals that you need for digestion. So then you have trouble putting weight back on. Has your sister consulted a nutritionist?

Brandi - not much to say other than we're here for you. Here's hoping that the Docs can come up with an answer. At least Lorelei seems to be comfortable, is able to play and all that.
