2 Week Follow UP

On 10/4/07 Josh and I took Luke in for his 2 week check up. He was 9lb 7oz. Grew 1/2 inch to 21 inches.



Well two nights before his appointment, we were thinking something was wrong. Luke had a terrible time passing gas! The poor little thing crys and gets all red in the face. It happens at different times of the day and night. We told the doctor ...she used the "C" word. We were both very bummed about it.



The weekend came so did the tears from both Luke and I. On Monday I called the doctor and wanted to come in and get a refund, my baby was defected. Well we saw the PA, she ordered an Ultrasound and said it could be gastric reflex and gave us samples of Prevacid. He then weighed 10lb 2oz.



The next day we got the ultrasound. On Wednesday the PA called and said everything was fine. We started the prevacid that night, she said it would take 3-5 days to work. On day 3, He began to become a keeper. We are not sure if his belly is just adjusting to the outside world Or if the medication started to work Or if God granted me this prayer! But praise God it's not colic and to those who have experienced colic my heart goes out to you. Luke would cry about 10-15 minutes but sometimes it felt like hours!
