And The Diagnosis Is...

Acid Reflux.  For Lexie, that is.  Actually, I have it too, but I haven't formally gone to the doctor for it.

The past three weeks have gotten progressively more difficult, mostly because Lexie has become progresively more fussy.  She exhibits a lot of signs of reflux, and there is family history.  I'm still not 100% sure that that's the problem, but we've got to give something a shot.  After lots of spit-up, two Linda Blair-esque Exorcist-style projectile vomits, a baby obviously in pain, and three trips to the doctor, we got a prescription for some baby Zantac.  We'll see how it goes.

Things definitely aren't all bad.  She still has good days and bad ones, and when she's happy she's a perfect child.  Hopefully this will make her feel better.  Apparently over half of all infants have Acid Reflux problems.
