GI doctor update

Hey! Well, we went to see Dr Mestre (GI Dr) on Thurs at 4:15. Hudson weighed 8lbs 2oz at that visit! So he is still gaining weight. Dr Mestre said he looked great! He told me to go ahead and stay off dairy until his 2 month check up and then we'll go from there. I really don't feel like he has any kind of allergy, but I guess they want to be careful until he is a little older. I feel like this was just a virus, not NEC, not an allergy, just the virus. He said he wasn't worried about his stool testing positive for blood when we left the hospital and that he would expect it to do that for 6-8 weeks. However, Hudson had 2 poopie diapers while we were there so he tested them and he said they are just barely testing positive. So thats good! He said as long as everything looks good at our 2 month checkup with Dr Lytle (pediatrician)  that he doesn't see any reason why we would need to continue seeing him. Thank you all so much for the prayers. The Dr's have really given me a peace that he is a healthy normal little boy! He just caught a virus. Love you all!
