So, after my last post we determined that actually the extreme amount of fussiness Raemi was having while home with me was more than just wanting her daddy. She was beginning to suffer from reflux again. For the 1st few days of it starting to get bad again, her excitement over getting to see her daddy made her happy enough to not cry when he was home.
By night before last, though, she was having a really hard time. She was as bad as she'd been before we started treating her reflux, only it felt soo much worse after having seen her really happy and feeling well. It was so heart wrenching watching her try to nurse because she was hungry, but instead of comfort it brought her severe pain. She screamed so much her eyes were puffy, and though Mike and I took turns holding her, we couldn't do anything to make her feel better. She would lay her head on my chest and whimper and grimace until she was finally so exhausted that she passed out, but as soon as we tried to lie her down she would be in so much pain that she'd wake up screaming again. It made me soo upset to see her suffering that own stomach was churning and I felt like I was going to throw up.
Fortunately, though. the Dr. was able to get us in right away yesterday and she switched us to different meds. She informed us that the 1 we'd been on usually doesn't work very well, and the new one is much better. Within 30 minutes the new meds gave Raemi such great relief that she was able to nurse without pain and peacefully drift off to sleep. I'm very confused, though, as to why they made us go through treating her with inadequate meds first. But I'm so happy that God answered our prayers that we'd be able to find a way to help our precious daughter.
Unfortunately, while the reflux was bad it caused a sinus infection which we're now having to deal with, so our sweetie still can't get as peaceful of sleep as she otherwise could, so we're praying that she recovers from that soon.
