Today...Updated

Later this afternoon we are taking a trip to a specialist/doctor to try and figure out why Kinsley has a hard time keeping her meals down. Ultrasound at 3:00pm to try and rule out a condition in infants called pyloric stenosis, which basically causes babies to force their food back up instead of digesting it properly. I say "rule out" because we pray that she doesn't have this...it could mean surgery as early as later today. If the ultrasound is negative, then it's off to a GI specialist to do a barium swallow test and x-ray to determine any other factors. Prayers for our little girl. Update to follow...

UPDATE: the ultrasound was clear! Whew! But Kinsley did NOT like the ultrasound...I think it was the gel and someone messing with her tummy. I tried to explain to her that I had several of those done not too long ago to see her inside me...she didn't seem to care. It was kinda crazy watching my little 2 month old have the same procedure done to her that us grown-up ladies have when we're pregnant. But the Children's Healthcare people were great. The funniest thing was that the flat screen TV above the bed with the cartoons playing caught Kinsley's eye...she just stared at it for about 5 minutes. I think she has discovered TV...hopefully, she won't be into the trashy reality shows like her mama.

So, what's next? Well, we go back Monday morning and do the Barium thing and the upper GI X-ray to see if they can ID the problem...possibly acid reflux? I don't know, but I so want her to have some relief...and to keep her food down so she can gain some weight. Hopefully we have a good weekend and good news next week!
