For the past couple of days when eating during the daytime, Fiona would eat an ounce and then hysterically (and I do mean hysterically) scream for at least a half hour then be ready to eat the remainder three ounces of food. This was pretty alarming and didn't seem to be getting better. So before the weekend set in I called our pediatrician to ask for suggestions. Fiona was happy the rest of the day except when eating so we knew it wasn't anything too serious. However, my call into the pediatrician set off a chain of worrisome events. Another doctor called us back and only heard me say that my four month old was having trouble eating and screaming (she ignored the other details). Just based on that she demanded that I bring her into Urgent Care to be examined. After an hour of traffic and only 15 miles, Brant and I arrived about 5 minutes before Urgent Care closed for the day. The doctor assured us that everything looked fine and we were sent home. The other girls stayed at home with Grandma Bonnie who was here one last night before heading back to Indianapolis.
I guess there are several good parts to this story.
1. Brant and I now have some idea where Urgent Care is (a different place than our normal medical office)
2. Because Bonnie was here, we were able to go together for this first experience
and mostly importantly
3. Fiona is fine (already eating better) so we are hopefully this is just a phase.
