Spit up girl...

Poor little Evelyn,

She has been spitting up all along, but became much worse Sunday night. (She projectile vomited all over her daddy. Must say-he took it quite well.) Dave and I both noticed a change in her cry Monday night, as though she was in pain??? On Tuesday it seemed as though she didn't keep anything down. I called the doctor on Weds. She was concerned it may be pyloric stenosis (when the pyloric sphincter is narrowed so food can't pass to the stomach), so she sent Evelyn to have an ultrasound of her abdomen. Thankfully it was normal. So, our little darling just has very bad reflux. She was started on a med called Axid twice daily. Hopefully it helps because she seems so unhappy and starving all the time, not to mention very gassy. We tried to give her some formula with breast milk per the Dr's recommendation and will continue to travel down that road with 2 other types of formula because it's thicker and will satisfy her longer, pending she keeps it down.

We'll keep you posted...
