Peyton is 4 months old now....holy cow does time fly! Although, when I try to remember the last time I slept through the night, it seems like a really long time ago.Anyways, Peyton is doing pretty good. She was diagnosed with Reflux a month ago, so she is on 2 different prescriptions....she is sensitive to milk, so she has been on ProSobee formula, but might be switching to Nutramigin soon (SUPER expensive and very gross!). We noticed that she wasn't turning her head to the left and that her head was becoming misshapen, so I took her into the doctor and he ordered physical therapy for her neck and to see a specialist in SLC at Primary Children's for her head. They are going to see if she needs a helmet to reshape her head.
Anyways, we've been going to PT for about 2.5 weeks now, and she's getting better. She is gaining more movement in her neck and is getting stronger. We are going to SLC next Wednesday for her apt with the specialist. Living out here in the middle of nowhere sure has it's disadvantages! We have to drive about 4 hours each way to get to SLC, so we've decided to make it worth the trip. We are staying overnight and going to the Hogle Zoo the next day. Hopefully we will get some answers and I can start relaxing a little bit. All of this is a little stressful. I think it's stressful enough to have a baby....then you add this stuff on top....I'm exhausted! I have so much more respect for people that have children that have handicaps or disabilities. I cannot imagine even now....
Well, we'll keep you posted on what happens!

When we were at BYU, our friends had their first baby with that issue also. Hope that all goes well!!
I hope your trip goes well, and that you are able to get everything figured out asap. AND I hope you get a good night's sleep soon!
Wow four months huh?? She is a doll. HOpe everything gets corrected and you can relax and hopefully catch get some rest. Looks like you had a great holiday.
How crazy, Noah had acid reflux too (I think he might still have it). He was on Prevacid and Zantac. We put him on Nestle's Goodstart and it has seemed to agree with him the best, and it doesn't stink at all. And it's WAY cheaper than Nutramigen (but still 24 bucks a large can). And he also had issues with a misshapen head. I had to stretch his neck muscles several times a day, and force him to sleep on a certain side. By his six month appt. luckily they told us he didn't really need to get a helmet anymore. Hopefully things work out well for Peyton--I'm sure they will! Good luck!
Oh, poor Peyton! Hope everything goes well in SLC. Keep us posted.
