Bree had a rough night, and a rough day today. This is the first time she is resting comfortably since she woke up this morning. She had just been fussy from 600 to 900 last night. Stiffening her body while she cries, screaming and flailing...you name it. The same thing happened this morning and afternoon. At time, she would go to sleep for about three minutes at times, but would wake right back up and go at it.
The GI doctor came in about 1130 and took one look at her and said "Well, I think it's time to bump up her Prevacid because it looks like her acid reflux is bothering her a lot." At the same time the nurse and I said "She's not on anything!" To that, he replied "I think it is time to start some..." I was told that this medication is one that needs to build up in her system for it to work most effectively. However, fifteen minutes after her dose she started drifting to sleep and you could tell that she got much needed relief.

Prevacid is a great medicine for preemies. Katie was on it and it did take a little while to build up but it worked. :)
As for her weight.. just think at least she didn't lose any!
How is her poop?
Glad to hear they found something for her!
