Your baby is adorable.. :) Please let us know what the culture comes back with.. It sounds like the problem is his mouth so I hope thats where the culture was from. Just curious, what type of anitobiotics/meds did he give you? My Mikey was sick last year and he couldn't eat either and got very skinny..:( He too had a infection in his mouth so it was painful for him to eat. I was able to get him to eat oatmeal & would mash up sweet potatoes w/rice, he liked that too.. They started him on Doxycyline but unfortunately it took a few cultures to get a *exact* diagnosis.. In the end, Mikey had mrsa and had to be put on Amikacin. And Mikey is just fine now.. :dance4: I hope you get a quick definitive diagnosis.. :hug8: Please keep us posted on those culture results.. :hug8: We care.. :hug8: Mikey and me are keeping your baby in my prayers.. :hug8:

Doing better, he drank water on his own and is nibbling on a little food. The meds seem to be finally working. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
