FLASHBACK

I think we have PTSD. Everytime Katie gets fussy, we freak. Literally, like the colic is going to break free again.

Unfortunately, right now, things are not so great. Katie hasn't been her new happier self that last couple of days. She's not sleeping, daycare today didn't go so well and I've noticed her spit up is coming out her nose again.

I'm guessing she must be refluxing pretty badly. I'm calling our ped in the morning. It's probably time to increase her zantac or try a new med.

I'm trying to stay positive, although I can't help but feel discouragesd. Her ped thought we might be able to be done with the zantac around 6mo because she was doing so well at her 4mo appt last week. I was also hopeful to reintroduce dairy around 6-8mo. I think I just need to let myself go ahead and cry because I really want to.

At least we know what's wrong though and it should be a relatively easy fix. And speaking of fixes, out of desperation, we tried the colic calm again tonight with actual success. This isn't something that I would use on a long term basis, but my baby was miserable and we needed someting to get through the night.

Hey girl...you don't know me...I'm a friend of Trisha's from college. Anyway, been reading your blog and it sounds like the colic is coming to an end...but if not, you may consider having a chiropractor adjust your precious little one. My boyfriend's brother-in-law has a very large chiropractic firm and he treats babies for colic (sucessfully) all the time. Just a thought. My brother and I both had colic when we were babies...so I've heard stories from my mom...stay strong, it sounds like you guys are handling it like rock stars.
