Wednesday November 30

It has been one full month that Isaac has been home. It has been quite an adjustment. Sometimes fun and other times not so fun.

I called the pediatrician yesterday because I believe the sleepless nights have gotten worse. Although I know newborns don't typically sleep through the night I used my instinct and called. After telling the doctor about his symptoms she mentioned she thought it was reflux and prescribed a medication for reflux. Not convinced I reviewed the symptoms online. What I read he has about 7 of the 10 symptoms. We started the meds last night and today was worse than yesterday. There are times that he doesn't want to eat and cries in pain. I reflect back and he showed early signs of reflux and I believe it worsened since being home. The NICU had tested for it about a week before he was discharged and it showed that he didn't have it. It is difficult to see him cry that hard and not be able to soothe him. I called the doctor again today to make sure that this med will mix well with the others since I felt today has been the worst yet. She said it could take up to one week to see results. The crying affects his eating and his sleeping, the two major things that babies need! We are praying and believing for there to be more immediate results! When he starts crying I have been praying through it sometimes with tears and other times with anger. I am so mad that he has to go through this! I keep telling him that his dad and I have not given up on getting him to feel better! We won't stop until we see results!


We would appreciate prayers for his healing! Thank you so much!
