Ruling Out!

So, I admit. I took Landon to the Doctor's office again yesterday. I guess I thought there was a meaning to the madness. Why has Landon been screaming/crying his head off at different times? You never know when it will be but he gets to this point where you would think he is enduring horrible torture or something. He screams so loud you get this little vibrating in your ears... let me tell you, it is such a lovely sound! I try to calm him down and sometimes it's like he's telling me, forget it Mom...try all you want. Ok? So if it's not the diaper, you dont want to eat, and your toys arent good enough then what is wrong?
Anyways, I went to the Doctor's office to try to rule out an ear infection. I was pretty sure he didnt have one, but like I said I wanted to rule it out instead of sluffing things off and going with my instinct that he doesnt have one. I would hate to let an ear infection go if he has one and then feel bad about it later. So I took him in and after 30 minutes the Doctor finally came into the room. By this time Landon has had enough because he had to wait so long but I did find out that his ears are clear! That is ruled out..oh, thank God! Giving Landon medicine isnt the easiest task. He likes to spit it out and then I have to try to push the spit out medicine back in his mouth and try to get him to swallow it. Ok...so his ears are clear so I thought that the other reason would be teething but the Doctor threw in a new one. Maybe he has acid reflux? So he gave me a perscription to get him Zantac and he basically told me that if I dont see improvement after a day then I could just stop the medicine. Ok? I might as well give it a try.
The results? I am ruling out Acid Reflux! There was no difference in behavior after giving him the icky medicine and Landon is still having some spit up here and there. It has to be teething/boredom/tiredness. I guess I am just cooping him up too much. He loves to be around other babies and other environments. So if you have a little one and are looking for a child to have a play date with....let me know? I am sure Landon would love it.
