Hi Team Beatrice fans,Team Bea has been on a bit of a roller coaster since we last wrote. The Little One seemed to be making progress (she likes her wedge!) and on Saturday, M&D had a glorious afternoon taking Bea to their favorite picnic spot overlooking Lake Washington. We also enjoyed a visit from M's oldest friend and her family, all the while off our o's!
Come Saturday night, though, Beatrice was having more and more trouble with feeds and needed her o2 turned back on. After talking with a nurse on Sunday morning, we took the munchkin to Children's Hospital a for a look-see. While M&D bit their nails during their first visit to the ER, Bea was more than happy to be back in the care of experts and performed so well they declared her fine to go home. We spoke with her pediatrician (on a Sunday!) and, while he isn't entirely sure what is causing the difficulty feeding and breathing, he prescribed her medicine for reflux. His guess is that Bea's reflux problem is inhibiting her feeding and potentially causing her to work harder to breathe. So far, she's been off 02 almost all day, but is still struggling with feeding. Bea either puts up her dukes and fights or takes a snooze. She's a feisty one, for sure! We meet with the doc tomorrow -- cross you fingers we find a way to soothe the Little One's tummy.
In the meantime, here are some pics from our Saturday excursion.

Hey. Wyatt has those same pajamas! Nice choice, Bea!
Ah the joys of reflux. Adie had some pretty bad reflux and we went through a series of scripts until we got the right one and it seemed to do the trick. Hope Bea's tummy calms down soon.
