Wow, what a morning. I took Ryan to his appointment this morning ready and armed to tell the pediatrician how bad Ryan’s tummy has been. I was ready to be his advocate, but if on cue, he let the bottom fall out as I was holding him. Like seriously, the doctor couldn’t finish talking. He took one look at his diaper and agreed that this was more of a GI issue. So, he suggested a drug called Levilin that is used for intestinal cramping, bloating, and for colic babies. He can’t guarantee that it will work, but I’m going to pray really hard that it does. We can give it to him 4x a day 30-45 minutes before feedings. I drove out of town with a screaming child past feeding time to get it filled because not a single pharmacy in our town carried it. But then again, this doesn’t really surprise me…
Ryan got three shots and an oral vaccination for Rotavirus. He, of course, cried but soon was consoled by his friend, the paci.
His stats:
Weight: 11 lbs, 13 oz (50%)
Length: 23 3/8 inches (70%)
If you are curious, Tyler at 2 months weighed 10 lbs 15 oz and was 24 inches long.
Ryan goes back at 4 months for his next well child check up.

Wow, I didn't know there were prescriptions for that! I wish I had known - Russell cried ALL THE TIME for his first 3-4 months of life (tummy issues also).
Either way, he will get better soon! I definitely feel for you.
