Smiling and happy on Thursday (seems to be in a lot less pain!)
Ok, so you know as soon as I did that last post about how happy Emmy was, everything went to pot, right? She started getting miserable and fussy again and spitting up and just seemed to be hurting. So I took her back into the pediatricians office on Monday and while she checked out ok at her physical the doctor (a different one than the one we saw previously for the spitting up several weeks ago) said she sounded like she had all the symptoms of reflux. Now apparently all babies have some level of reflux (which is why they spit up so much) due to their immature digestive systems but in some babies the reflux is extreme and they call it GERD (gastrointestinal reflux disease). This is what I believe Emmy might have. The doctor put her on Zantac and we're to wait a week and see how she does on it. That was Monday. She seemed maybe a little better on Tuesday but then had a pretty lousy day Wednesday. Thursday she had a pretty happy day and did not seem to be hurting too much so that is a good sign, I guess. Who knows with these babies... All I know is that I am never going to post anything about how happy she is again.

Tell Emily that Grandpop's on Zantac also and it makes him less grumpy, or at least less blurchy.
