We took Camden to the doctor yesterday to make sure that he is okay because of all his crying. We were afraid that maybe he had a hernia or something wrong with his digestive tract. He projectile vomits quite a bit, and there are gastric juices (yummy, I know) in some of his spit up. The doctor said that we will have to do a barium swallow test if it continues. She also noticed from his crying and screams that he has colic. COLIC! Yikes that dreaded "C" word that is doctor code for "your baby hurts and we don't know why".
Dan and I have heard from several of his patients that placing a baby on top of the running dryer helps with colic. When I started this entry, he was fast asleep riding it out on top of our dryer. But lo' and behold, he is now back in my arms, doing nothing else but screaming.
We are beside ourselves with sadness (for Camden's pain) and frustration (because we can't fix it!). And, as you can imagine, Camden's constant crying is starting to reek havoc on Carter and his emotions. Please keep us in your prayers. Colic usually lasts three months, so we have a way to go. Until then, we are giving him Gripe Water from Wholefoods that is a holistic remedy for colic...we are keeping our fingers crossed.
