The room was quiet and X was sleeping pretty soundly. All of the sudden he started screeching out in pain from his sleep and then wailing. That sound just made my heart drop to my stomach. I started tearing up and had to stop and calm myself before I went over to X. All I could do was just hold him and rock him in the rocker. X has been so fussy this evening. I think his reflux is particularly bad tonight.
We went to the gastroenterologist today. He said that I need to thicken X's milk with rice cereal and give him Children's Mylanta and increase the frequency of his medication. I hope it works. I need SOMETHING to work. The doctor also said X should grow out of it around 6 months and that this is the normal course for reflux babies. 4 more months of this? Ugh. Torture for all of us. If it doesn't work, then they will have to do x-rays and a scope.
I can only hope things get better.....

Awww poor X :(
Although that milk and rice cereal thing sounds pretty good, I might be a little jealous of him.
