Sick Call

The goal was a success...or was it? Jonah has done a great job of coming off of the bottle and I think I am producing enough for him now. However, he wants NOTHING to do with a bottle or the supplementer! Uggg! I know the goal was to get him off the bottle for a few days but not FOREVER! Every time he drinks from either he screams bloody murder like he is hurting. It breaks my heart to see him in pain. Nathan and I called the doctor yesterday and explained all the symptoms. The nurse said it sounded like an ear infection and that we needed to bring him in tomorrow (which is today). I was a little nervous when we got to the doctor's because I didn't want my baby to be sick but on the other hand it would explain his crying. When we walked in she did an exam and found NOTHING! This was a praise but also a little scary because it didn't answer our question of what's wrong? The doctor explained that it must be COLIC (the dreaded word parents don't want to hear). I walked out of the office so overwhelmed. I don't know how I'm going to make it through a couple more months (till he outgrows it) of this. Please pray for us and that we will have the wisdom and strength to make it through.
