Bryton Philip Charles
Bryton was born December 26, 2008, six weeks premature at St. Vincent’s Mercy Children’s Hospital in Toledo Ohio. Bryton had feeding problems from the first bottle; he vomited up every formula they tried. He ended up staying in the NICU for eight days before we could take him home. On our first visit Bryton made it clear his vomiting was not your usual baby spit up. He had stopped gaining weight and was very fussy and had difficulty with bowel movements. It was discovered that he was most likely suffering from Celiac’s Disease and Failure to Thrive. He was placed on a Gluten free diet and he did some better right away but still had a lot of trouble with the formulas; he was placed on a milk protein free formula in October and has done much better. Bryton had begun to gain weight and be less fussy; however his diagnosis is still not definite and he has recently lost some weight and lost interest in eating. I believe we are still looking for a definite diagnosis for him. Bryton is smaller than most babies his age but he is happy and typically developing in every other way.
