Last night, Lydia had her first crying spell while eating in a long time. She was obviously in pain...probably from gas. We tried mylocon and massage techniques to try to soothe her, and it seemed to help some. She went to bed around midnight, and surprisingly slept until almost 7 this morning. Then, her first bottle this morning, she was very reluctant to eat. I thought maybe she remembered how it hurt last night and was afraid. She did have one bottle today that she did not cry through, but we've seen a good bit of gas with most of them. Just when I was ready to say, "Thank God...that's over!" Please help us pray again for comfortable feedings.
We (or should I say, "I") had a good visit at Brusly Elementary today. Lydia slept through the whole visit...then as soon as I got her to the truck she woke up and started cooing and smiling. She's just shy I guess. It was so nice to see everyone and to show off my girl!
One of the ladies at BES told me today about a family member of hers who had a baby yesterday...and the baby died. What a tragic story. I've had trouble getting it off of my mind since then. Stories like that really make you stop and think how lucky and blessed we all are. Please join me in praying for her family...I can't imagine how difficult that could be.
I promise to let everyone know as soon as I hear from the doctor about the pyruvate level. I know that everyone is anxious to find out.
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

I am sorry to hear that Lydia has been fussing with feeding again. I really hoped she was past that hurdle. One suggestion would be- check out the nipples (no, I won't try to get ya'll to change the type) but sometimes after they have been used for a while the hole shape can change and cause her to have to work harder to get the milk or she could have to work less and swallow more air. I will be praying the God "solves" the problem quickly so Lydia can enjoy eating again! Teresa
It's been better at most feedings. I'll check the nipples to see if I see any change. None of her feedings have been as bad as the one a couple of nights ago. She was clearly in severe pain.
