Poor Link! He's had such a crappy life! If living at Primary's and having heart surgeries the first month of life wasn't enough, the last month he's had horrible tummy issues- constipation, gas, and acid reflux! He'll scream when he eats because it hurts him and he's been pretty fussy because he's so uncomfortable. We've tried...
Primary Children's apt to make sure his heart was okay
Different bottles
Mylecon
Pediatrician appointment
Prune juice
Suppositories
Swing
Another Pediatrician appointment
Tummy X-ray
Zantac
pumping his legs
more suppositories
Keeping him upright after he eats
tilting his bed
herbal digestive remedy on his tummy
order for an upper GI x-ray
Finally, I've been taking him to this Chiropractor in Draper that's been treating him with holistic remedies (ie: "desensitizing" him to his milk, working on his feet, adjusting his back, using a cold lazer. etc.). It's the only thing that has really seemed to help. Now Link doesn't scream during ALL of his bottles and is only pretty fussy at night. He poops by himself and everything! He's still fussy and uncomfortable sometimes and I hate seeing him in pain but I'm glad he's doing a little better. For a while there he was going to be an only child... he might still be (at least for a LONG time)!!! Good thing he is SO DANG CUTE!!! Here's some of my favorite recent pictures!

i'm sorry to hear about the tummy problems, i hope it gets better. my dad is a chiropractor and i really think they are effective at treating all sorts of things. p.s. he is sooo cute!
Poor Lincoln! Good thing he is so very studly. That is awesome about the chiropractor though; the Gunns are quite into all that. Mark's only got a year and a half left of school before he's done! Don't know if you should have him come near Lincoln though . . . yet. :) Good luck with everything, we'll keep you in our prayers!!
So sorry to hear it. Scarlett had really bad gas , the only thing that helped was time. Hope it gets better. And yes, he is so cute!
Hey i am sure you hear it all but my boys both had extreme gerd/reflux. Emmett was so bad that he lost weight for the first 4 months of his life and had all those nasty stomach problems. We did the whole screaming after every meal because he was in pain too its aweful. He is on prevacid and it made a world of difference when none of the other medicines did. It was rough but he is growing out of it. Mak stopped having problems at 8 months and never had a problem with it again and emmett is on the mend... so it is horrible and miserable and gross.... but he will grow out of IT I promise
Poor little guy! He sure is a beautiful baby though!!
Whit you're right that little boy is so dang cute:) I'm sorry he isn't feeling so well. What a tough lot.
Wow, rough start is an understatement Whit! I'm glad he's at least getting better, but sounds like it has been quite rough. I've heard that chiropractors can do a lot of good for babies. And you're right - he is so dang cute! Happy to hear he can now poop by himself...we should all be able to do that! :)
How can anyone not give in to a face like that! HE is so super cute!
