He did just great and ever since hasn't had a food intolerance. Pray for Hope that this formula works this time and that you will get her home with you. <br /><br />Enjoy your spa day, you deserve it!!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644689705712661680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-34202917538351440992013-03-27T14:17:24.707-06:002013-03-27T14:17:24.707-06:00You are misunderstanding, it has nothing to do wit...You are misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with it being that the breast milk was donated or not donated. I believe its just Hope seems to sometimes tolerate all different types of feed for a bit and then she stops being able to tolerate the milk and gets really sick. Praying for her to be able to take in milk that she can stay on without getting really sick so she can go home. Hope that helps!LeeAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221478557622213885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-38878631910764827482013-03-27T09:54:22.760-06:002013-03-27T09:54:22.760-06:00Amy, my son was intolerant of everything as an inf...Amy, my son was intolerant of everything as an infant. (I nursed him and I ate a diet that consisted only of rice, turkey, pears, squash, and potatoes.) He now has zero food intolerances or allergies. (He outgrew all the intolerances before he was 2.) I just want you to know that it is possible! Praying that as Hope's body grows and matures, she is able to tolerate food more and more, and I will pray for wisdom for the doctors to figure out exactly what she will be able to tolerate. Enjoy your spa day! We've got you and your family covered in prayer!

I pray that you are pampered beyond measure and are able to temporarily put all the stress of your journey aside for the moment. Hope is in good hands today as there is an army of believers holding her (and you!) up in prayer. Not to mention her heavenly Father who knows her exactly, even down to the very number of hairs on her head.carrollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-52173056444981522622013-03-27T06:33:01.434-06:002013-03-27T06:33:01.434-06:00Romans 15:13 - "May the God of hope fill you ...Romans 15:13 - "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him..."<br /><br />Praying for Hope, and your family daily!

Today I decided to join as the tears & joy that you share with all is a great gift from God. You have helped myself strenthen my love & understanding of God , his son Jesus Christ Our Lord & Saviour and the Holy Ghost. I pray for Hope and all of you that through all that you have had to deal God will spare you Hope and allow her to join your family at home very soon. I am sure Sadie also is more than ready for her baby sister to come home to play with. All the very best to Shawn & yourself with your future. May God bless your family always & bring solidary peace within you all. Hugs Amy as a mother & grandmother my heart goes out to you for all the strength you have showing over the past. Thank you for giving the rest of the world something understanding on how tough life could really be. As hard as it is through this time you have never giving up God nor the belief that one day soon Hope will be returning home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-43247351905224191442013-03-27T00:10:31.098-06:002013-03-27T00:10:31.098-06:00Hi Amy, I've been following your blog for quit...Hi Amy, I've been following your blog for quite some time and often keep Hope, you, and your family in my prayers. I'm wondering if maybe you could explain to me why Hope is unable to leave the hospital on donated breastmilk? From my (admittedly incomplete) understanding, it seems like she does really well on breastmilk but there seems to be some reason she can't leave the hospital on donated breastmilk. Am I misunderstanding what is going on, or has she recently become intolerant of breastmilk, too? Or is there some other reason she can't leave the hospital on donated breastmilk? <br /><br />The reason I ask is because I believe that any child who may need donated breastmilk should be able to have donated breastmilk, and if there is some (bureaucratic?) reason that she can't have it, I would want to advocate for these rules to be changed. Of course, if there is some other, sensible reason, I'd like to know that, too!<br /><br />If you don't have time to respond to this, though, no worries--you have lots of other things to worry about, as we all well know!Jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-84317024111332722032013-03-26T21:43:07.229-06:002013-03-26T21:43:07.229-06:00I'm proud of you, Amy.

See www.feingold.org . For more info on this food plan. It has helped many people with many different issues and why do we need them in our food anyway. I eat this way and it has helped me a lot and done things I never expected to happen.<br /><br />Naomi in OntarioThe Butterfly Ganghttp://thebutterflygang.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/introduction-to-us/noreply@blogger.com
