Lexi Scare!

Well, I am finally updating our blog since everyone in my family has been bugging me about it. I still don't really know what I am doing but I guess I will just experiment a little. Lately it has been a little crazy for Jaron and me. Last Thursday when I was feeding Lexi, I laid her down to change her and she started spiting up blood everywhere. Her entire bib was covered including some of the couch and the burp rag. I freaked out, of course, and called Jaron crying. Luckily he was driving on the freeway already on his way home. I then called my dad and he told me to take her to the hospital. Our pediatrician is next to the hospital and is much cheaper than the emergency room, so we called and got her right in. The pediatrician told us that she might have an ulcer and we needed to take her to the hospital in the morning for some tests. I wasn't feeling any better about it but Lexi was happy and cooing the entire time. She probably was wondering why her mother was so upset and crazy. The next morning we went to the hospital and they fed her some white pasty stuff in a bottle while they took x-rays of her stomach. The radiologist said he didn't see an ulcer but he still didn't tell us what was wrong. So we called the doctor later and found out she has a mild reflux. Basically it is like she has heartburn a lot. So needless to say, she has been really fussy lately and crying a lot. Luckily the medicine we have been giving her is finally working and today she is like her old self. Today she has been so happy! We still don't know exactly why she spit up so much blood but I guess I won't worry about it unless it happens again. I am just so grateful that she is alright and I know all our prayers helped!
