Thankful ... but still frustrated

We took Natalie to her pediatrician yesterday for a follow-up appointment. The doctor checked Natalie's abdomen to see if she felt any abnormalities. She couldn't rule out a possible case of pyloric stenosis, so she had us go to Sacred Heart and get an ultrasound done on Natalie's stomach. Thankfully the ultrasound was clear (the only way to fix pyloric stenosis is surgery), but it's also frustrating in that there's still not a clear reason why she's spitting up so much.

Her doctor prescribed some Prilosec. I feel good about this switch, and I've been reading some really positive stories about how it helped other peoples' children. So I'm really praying that this new medicine will work better than Zantac (nothing against the makers of Zantac - it's just that your medicine is no match for our super puker).
