silent reflux

We've been struggling with Raemi not sleeping well and screaming after she eats, but we'd been under the belief that it  was just normal infant behavior and there was nothing we could do. It had become worse and worse, though. Last Thursday night I was up so much trying to soothe Raemi  that I only got 2 hours of sleep. I finally gave in to my instincts that something was wrong and called her pediatrician. Fortunately they were able to get us in right away, and it turns out that Raemi has been suffering from silent reflux. We have medicine now, which seems to be helping a little. Hopefully after she's been on it a few days it will start giving her a bit more significant relief. And Mike did the sweetest thing! He knew I'd had an incredibly long week trying to determine what was going on with Raemi and running ragged from lack of sleep, so on Friday he had flowers delivered to me. We ended up being at the Dr. with Raemi when they were delivered so I didn't  actually get them till today. They are soo beautiful, I'm incredibly blessed to be married to such a sweet, loving man.

Oh and we wanted to cheer Raemi up too, so we got her a cold, refreshing Dr. Pepper. LOL
