Our easy little baby (who does nothing but eat, sleep, and occasionally smile) got a little more difficult last week. She started throwing up much more often than before. That in itself wasn't alarming, but after a couple days the vomit was brown, indicating blood was involved.

After several off-hours calls to the doctor’s office we took her into the ER . They confirmed that she had blood in her stomach, possibly caused by acid reflux or an ulcer. They hooked her up to an IV system to pump fluids into her, and included Pepcid to help with the acid issue. They said she's well hydrated and well nourished, so we took her home with a prescription for more anti-acid reflux meds.

She's continuing to do well, and the brown color went away. She's still throwing up on occasion, but she's still generally happy. We've been having her sleep sitting up in a bouncy-chair just to be safer. She's going to see her doctor today, so hopefully that nets some additional news.
