6 Months

Lila was 6 months old on Sunday. Her check-up isn't until the end of the month, but I had to take her to the doctor today b/c she has been really sick this weekend. She has a pretty bad stomach virus, and when she started throwing up blood I took her right in. (Don't worry, not like red blood, but a little bit of brown --which means old blood). The doctor thinks she has torn the flap between her stomach and esophagus, or has torn the lining of her stomach and that is where the blood is coming from. She on prevacid (to reduce acid), zofran
(to stop the throwing up), andMaalox (to help heal her stomach). She's a little dehydrated from being sick all weekend, but the doctor said I was doing a good job keeping her hydrated with the pedialyte. Hopefully she'll turn the corner soon and get better.

So, she got weighed today and my guess was right on.

13 lbs 14 oz -- I think it's probably right around the 10th%

I measured her at home and I think she is between 25 1/2 and 26 inches. Not sure what percent that is, but both numbers seem to be following her growth curve well. I'll find out more at her real check-up I'm sure.

No wonder she still fits in 0-3 month clothes:)

I hope she gets better soon. That is so hard to have a sick little one amd she seems a little worse than I've even experienced. Good luck.
