Seems like I spent the day at the doctor's office and the pharmacy. We're still working on Jonathon's reflux. Well, nothing's working on Jonathon's reflux so far so we had to go back to the drawing board today. We are now trying a new formula, going back to the first med but with a higher dose and doing some tests to make sure he isn't allergic to milk. My doctor thinks he has at least two issues going on: Reflux and colic. The colic is what is making him scream in pain for a couple of hours at night. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot we can do for the colic but hopefully changing the formula will help some. And we are going to cross our fingers that something starts to work on the reflux. Lots of prayers please friends. Our little guy needs to start feeling better.
Then, I ended up back at the doctor's office with Julie because she had a pain in her side. It had been hurting for a couple of days but got really bad today. No, it wasn't appendicitis--wrong side. Turned out to be Costochondritis-an inflammation of her ribs. So, she is on the take it easy plan for the next ten days.
Let's face it--we are a house of sickies. Gee Whiz we are going on our 6th or 7th week of someone in the house being ill. That's just yukky. It's time for us to be well. It's our turn--don't ya think?!

I'll definitely be praying for you all. I'm so sorry about poor little Jonathon. Don't you just wish you could take away the pain? Jed had a hard time keeping down his formula at first too. (The problem wasn't nearly as severe, from the sounds of it though.) But we ended up having to buy the expensive kind of formula, the Enfamil Lacto-free lipil stuff. No cheap Sam's Club formula for this guy's refined stomach! Best of luck. Heavenly Father knows what little Jonathon needs and He'll give you the answer. Love ya!
