Sick Baby



Reagan has been having a really hard time with her reflux.  On Tuesday we had to take her in for an upper GI and lower bowel x-ray.  It was pretty traumatic for baby and me.  I could not feed her for several hours and she cried hysterically.  It was heart breaking then she was made to drink this thick chalk like drink.  She was so hungry she drank all 8 oz.   This then caused sever baby constipation.  Her little bottom was all bloody.  It has been a tough week.  You never realize how much you can love a little baby until you have one.  I would take all her pain if I could.  We have more testing to come.  We will have to take Reagan to a tummy specialist in Orlando and then to a derm. specialist in Miami.  My mom is here now helping me go to Dr. appointments because I can't ride in the car with her by myself .  Reagan has nearly choked to death while in the car-seat two time.  Someone has to be ready to suction her nose and mouth at all times.  I hope we can get this GERD under control soon.  Reagan does have a few hours a day that she feels ok and the little trooper tries to play and have fun.  Here are some pics of her playing the drums.
