So I usually make my posts late at night after Brady’s asleep. I think this is causing some confusion when I post because I’ll say tomorrow and it will technically be the day that I am posting on, but since I haven’t fallen asleep yet, I don’t consider it to be that next day yet. <\/p>\n
I took Brady to the doctor yesterday to get her checked out. Her usual pediatrician was out and because of the short notice it was either the P.A. or a doctor that I don’t really care for. P.A. it was and I really liked her so it all worked out. Brady weighed in at 15 pounds 2.5 ounces! I think she’ll definitely be in the 50th percentile (for her weight at least) by 6 months! When I told the P.A. Brady’s symptoms, she told me later that the two things that automatically came to her mind were ear infection or tummy bug (stomach flu, not related to influenza). Brady looked perfect except for the excessive fussiness that I told her about (and she witnessed), some vomiting that she had over the weekend, and hearing\/feeling bubbles in her tummy. She consulted with the other P.A. in the office and apparently some sort of tummy bug is making the rounds in breastfed babies. She said we were going to go ahead and assume that’s what it is and let it runs it’s course in 24-48 and hope that the worst was over. I guess there’s nothing really you can do for the stomach bug but she said I could give Brady some Tylenol if it made her feel better and that Mylicon was likely to be ineffective. Well here we are almost 48 hours later and no improvement. She had already stopped vomiting when I took her in (that stopped Sunday) but her fussiness is still running pretty high and she seems to be pretty uncomfortable at times and I still hear the bubbles. I’m praying that after a good night’s sleep, Brady will be feeling better but if she’s not I fear blood work is going to be ordered to figure out what’s going on with her. I just really want for her to feel better and I know she’s not being fussy on purpose. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
