You weigh 9 pounds, 9 ounces. You are now 21 inches long (the Dr's office measures from heel to head but the hospital measures from toe to head). I told Dr. Quizon I was concerned about your skin. Your scalp is a little scaly around your hair line/forehead and you've had what I thought was "baby acne" since the "newborn rash" went away. Apparently, it's not acne after all. You have the beginning stages of eczema which signals that you are allergic to something. He asked us lots of questions about family history of allergies and your environment and whether or not you were showing symptoms of asthma. There is no family history of allergies as far as we know. The only asthma history we know of is Lexy and Coleman. Since we've already been playing around with your formula, we decided to start there. You most likely have a milk allergy and will need soy formula. He also told us to watch out for perfumes and detergents. The allergy thing really caught me off guard and then you had to get a shot and your PKU re-test. I cried way more than you did. Hopefully we will find the source of your allergic reaction very soon.
Hopefully the next visit will be better!
