Monday night was a bad one. Ella vomited bile all night long. It was so heartbreaking and scary. We saw her pediatrician who worries about this 4th night episode of illness (last one was the night before the wedding party). She hopes with some new meds we can avoid another scary night of vomiting and improve her overall health (coughs, hiccups, restlessness caused by the reflux). Ella only gained 0.5 lb in 2 months so we're to increase her calories - bring on the protein! She weighs 17lbs 8 oz...small for her age (she's no longer in the 50th percentile for weight). We tried the new meds this morning...they may take 2 weeks or so to kick in (pray for her that it's sooner). We are also to get her tested for allergies as she's already reacted to bananas and oats. She seems happy in spite of it all. She was gagging a bit today and is still tired. We hope that these meds will be our answer. She is such a trooper! Here is a pic from this morning - what a great little girl she is!!!!
