Spit up? What's up with that?

Rory has never ever "spit up". She's always been an all or nothing puker. I know I mentioned yesterday that she was spitting up in her mouth. Well, today while we were coloring she bent down to pick up a crayon and spit up about 2 tbsps worth on her coloring paper. She looked up with the most disgusted look on her face!! I threw the paper away and wiped her mouth and she carried on about her business. It's just so odd. As I've thought all along, I think prevacid is crap for Rory. Both her GP and Pediatrician have refused a medication switch in the past, stating ppi's are all the same. (Proton Pump Inhibitors-they're supposed to stop acid production). Well, I can assure you her spit up smelled like acid. I feel bad for her because this has happened to me on occassion, bending over and throwing up in my mouth...YUCK!!! I don't know what her deal is lately. She didn't eat lunch or supper yesterday. I made quacamole to try, but she didn't like it. I let her try to feed it to herself at suppertime since it's thick and sticks to the spoon. Well, she gunked it all up in her hands, got an itch, and smeared it all over her face and in her eyes. She freaked and I wiped her off as good as I could....and while she was crying it was coming out of her eyes!! UGH. Why do I bother. Today, though, she was an eating machine. She didn't eat breakfast, but for snack she ate 6 cheerios, 2 Gerber lil' Crunchies, and for lunch she ate a tbsp chicken brocolli soup, 8 very tiny pieces of ham, and 6 very tiny cheese cubes....not to mention she kept taking bites off my cheesecake!!! Seriously, this is the first good eating day in FOREVER!!!! It's hurting her tummy though, cause she's already cried out 3 times during naptime, which she never does. I hope this doesn't mean she'll be up tonight.

I have a suspicion that since we cut her prevacid back, and switched her from a split dose to a nightime dose that she may be getting hungrier during the day. Prevacid has always screwed with her appetite. It would also explain why she is puking and spitting up. There is less of it in her system during the day. I don't want to start messing with things too much before her appts, but I am thinking about adding Zantac in the morning to see if that will help. She hates it, and it makes her gag and retch and occassionally vomit.....but it might do the trick if she can get it down. We shall see. I also have to run it by Mike. Will keep everyone posted.
