An old picture...I gotta find the camera back!We are back from the lake and I will post some pictures if I can find my camera under this massive pile of stuff. I forgot how much stuff you have to take in order to travel with a baby. We were completely packed in and still had to buy more diapers :)
Kailey's reflux was steadly getting worse. She just arched and cried for hours, poor baby. I called my doctor back and they wanted her to see GI and get worked up. Well that got me worked up because I know what they want to do to my baby and I am not about to allow that. Especially because I know she's not bad enough to need surgery, so they would just switch her medicine. Well, doctor my mother works for called her in some prevacid for me. And that has helped a bunch. She is more content after she eats, more relaxed, and doesn't seem near as fussy. I still think she needs more, though. She sleeps upright, I cut caffiene out of my diet (which has nearly killed me, you must know) I give her simethecone as well. What else can I do? Any ideas out there? My poor baby still is miserable quite a bit.
Well, now here's my newest dilemma. I have a starlight papasen swing that I got right before Kailey was born. So, she comes home and we notice the mobile doesn't work. OK, so call Fisher Price, who sent us an new moter. New moter doesn't swing. Called again, got a new motor. New motor doesn't swing. Called AGAIN. Got new motor. Motor does not swing. Now have 4 motors for swing. 3 do not swing, one does not light. Well, silly me, found a great deal on a nature's touch papasan swing at target. Bought it for her to sleep in at night, since she has to be upright, and it was cheaper than another bouncy seat. Guess what? IT DOESN'T SWING!!!!!!
Called fisher price. Expressed great frustration. They are taking the starlight one back and either fixing it or sending me a voucher for a new swing. And the other one? She said to try cheapo batteries! Apparently the name brand are too powerful for the swing. If that doesn't work, I get another voucher for another swing. By the time I get this all straightened out, she'll be too big for swings! But Kudos to FP, they sure have worked with me on this.

Yay! I told you you'd like prevacid. How much prevacid is she on? I thought when Elliott took it that it could be bumped up to twice a day (1/2 a tab each time) if things didn't get better. Just keep bugging them until you see better results. My peds. were adamantly against it until they consulted Children's GI, now they use it much more frequently. Also, we had the same problem with fisher price and the aquarium swing, we just kept bugging them until they got it right. Those swings were too expensive not to! Glad to hear that you and the baby are getting some relief! -lori
