So after my last post we went to the pediatrician for Sam's fussiness and general unhappiness. I was happy that upon our arrival there he cried like he normally does for us so they could get a taste of the real deal ;) After weighing in the Dr. saw him and within minutes said that we should make a trip to Children's hospital ER for imaging. I was happy that she escalated the issue another level just to make sure that there was nothing seriously wrong with him - like a blockage in his intestines or the like. So after spending 4 hours in the ER and a few x rays later the diagnosis came back basically that he may just have a case of "extreme colic". I kid you not, she said extreme and all I could think about was some extreme sporting event ;) So that and a change of formula - to hypoallergenic we were on our way home.
Since changing his formula his has been much better - though with a few crying spells here and there - but way better than before. We are also still giving him his acrid reflux medicine until we get clearance to take him off - which I phoned in today about.
Hopefully he will continue to get better as he get used to the new formula and gets the bad stuff out of his system.
