7 weeks

Yesterday was a hard day for our little girl. Per our dr.'s instructions, we took her to the office to get checked out for what I was convinced was reflux. Turns out I was right and she has reflux/esophagitis. Ouch! All those times I was so convinced that she was hurting, she probably was. She was such an angel after waiting in the waiting room for a solid hour with about a million kids here is what Dr. Wiley said...
1. Addison weighs 11 lbs. 13 oz., 22.5 inches long (75th percentile in both)...which is above average!
2. She has reflux/esophagitis, explaining the long bouts of hysterical, frantic crying, the random, unexplained gagging, and the inconsistent difficulty with feeding. He prescribed some meds for this that should help pretty quickly.
3. She has a yeast infection in the rolls of her neck (apparently common for those little chubs), despite my obsessive cleaning between the rolls:) He also prescribed some meds for this, too.
4. She got 3 shots (for her 8 week appt.)
5. She has a pronounced heart murmur, so he referred us to have an echo done at the hospital this morning. He said it wasn't an emergency situation since she is gaining weight so well and is not having difficulty breathing.
6. She did great at the hospital, and only fussed toward the end.
7. We should have the results late today or tomorrow.

Say a little prayer for our family as we wait for the results. We are not too worried, but are hopeful that it is nothing major and nothing she won't just grow out of.

On a completely separate note, Andy got in a wreck last night, no fault of his own. While he was on duty, a lady turned onto the street where he was driving and ran right into the side of Andy's patrol car, pushing both cars across a lane, up a curb, into the partking lot, and banging his prisoner's head on the cage. Yikes! Needless to say, it is a bad idea to not be paying attention and to run into a police car. Andy gave her every ticket he could think of. Ha! Everyone is doing fine.

On another separate note, I watched Night Rider when we got home from the hospital. It is a work of cinematic genious on the part of David Hasselhoff. And to think that he has lowered himself to "America's Got Talent." What a shame.
