First ER Trip

Gracie had her first trip to the ER last night. She has been crabby for a few days and really restless at night. All day yesterday she would cry and scream and scrunch up in pain. I thought she was just constipated so I tried lots of little tricks the dr. recommended, like apple juice and a bath and a suppository but nothing helped. By 9:00pm last night she was screaming almost non-stop and in incredible pain so the dr. said to take her to the ER. It turns out she is having a bad reaction to her formula which has a lot of iron in it. We switched her to a new formula and she is doing much better today. We also give her frequent suppositories and gas drops to help her be successful with her poopies. I'm not sure who the trip to the ER was more traumatic for, Gracie or Mommy!
