Poor girl...

Shelby had a scary episode yesterday that made Joanna take her to the doctor. It had been building up over the past couple of days, but was really bad yesterday morning. Shelby was crying uncontrollably and was very rigid with her eyes rolled back. It was quite scary for Joanna, so she and Grammy took Shelby to the doc and they said she has bad acid reflux; maybe gas pain as well. Shelby was on Zantac for a month and we thought it wasn't doing any good, so now she's on Prilosec mixed in some good tasting liquid. At least I was told it tastes good. :) Hope it helps...

Anyway next week she goes to Wesley for a half day or so of testing to make sure there's nothing going wrong in her brain that could cause seizures. Joanna was initially worried that she might be having a slight seizure yesterday, but the doctor didn't think so. It's all precautionary; they're just erring on the side of caution and making sure it's all OK. Rainbows United is coming out Thursday to do testing as well. Something they do for all premies if you let them. It will make for another busy week. :(
