Reflux, reflux, reflux

Our kids have reflux and it just complicates their care. It seems to have really flared up over the past week. They take longer to eat than normal, they throw up a lot, and they are agitated. Feeding is a battle nearly every time and we hold our breath that we will not get vomited on (or the carpet, furniture, etc.) between feeds. We have an appointment with the GI next week, but that feels like a really long time away! The medicine the pediatrician prescribed for Hazel doesn't seem to be doing anything. Please pray that we have the strength to continue doing these long feeds and that the issue will be resolved quickly after our appointment next week (it's very common for it to take a long time to figure out). Once Hillary leaves on Saturday, we are on our own for a long time. Yikes! Please pray that we will have adequate help and support, especially for the next several weeks. We're hoping things will stabilize a bit after that, but anticipate the next 6 weeks or so to be very challenging,
