~Prilosec is Here to Stay~

Recent photo of Kayla

It's been a long few days.  I finally got Kayla to fall asleep just a little while ago.  Kayla's Pediatrician wanted us to try stopping her Prilosec to see if her Acid Reflux has gotten any better.  So she's been taking half her normal dose for the past few days.  Then she stopped eating her normal 5oz bottle as well as her solids (she usually never passes up bananas).  She kept pushing the bottle away, fussing and then today projectile vomiting started up again.  It was funny because Grandma (my mom) was actually out shopping with us and buying the little princess new clothes and spoiling her again as usual.  That's when she decided to projectile vomit all over Grandma in the store while Grandma was showing her a cute outfit she wanted to buy her.  (We didn't buy the outfit after that of course).  So I'm afraid she'll have to hang on to the Prilosec for a while.  The doctor wants her to continue it until her 9 month check-up.  The poor thing!  On top of all that she is so constipated that we (actually I) had to give her a suppository.  The poor thing has been through hell today.  I just hope she wakes up her usual happy self tomorrow because she is supposed to be getting her ears pierced at the doctors office.  Of course if she is still feeling lousy we will not punch holes in her ears on top of everything else she is feeling.  I'd be pretty pissed off if someone did that to me.  So I'll let you know how it all goes tomorrow.  Wish us luck!

Love,

Linda
