A busy week

It was a rough week on Kayley. Too many doctor appointments! Wednesday she saw a GI specialist because of her poor bottle feeding. They gave her a barium "cocktail" and took x-rays to rule out anything internal causing the problem. Everything looked good inside but they could tell immediately that it is definitely a really bad case of reflux and that is probably the cause of her fighting her bottles. I assume they will talk to Megan and Andy about different meds they can try, etc. to help her combat this until she outgrows it. After the GI appt. she had her 6 month check-up with her Pediatrician and got a shot in each thigh. As I said, a rough day on the little gal!

Thursday and Friday were equally hard on her, as she became very constipated from the barium and that caused her (and me) fits on Thursday. I felt so badly for her and the doctor wanted to see her that afternoon. She didn't eat at all well (worse than usual) Thursday or yesterday. Hopefully she is all recovered from her ordeals and is having a good week-end with her Mom and Dad.

Sharon and I hiked Squaw Peak this morning. We hadn't done that one for a long time and we both forgot how tough that climb can be. I would say I definitely got my heart rate going into overdrive during the trip to the top! It was gorgeous once we got there and I took pictures of the view. After the hike we went to the Apple Store and Border's at the Biltmore mall. This is in a very fancy part of Phoenix and our hiking attire and sweaty duds and hair probably had us standing out a bit among the well dressed shoppers but each place was happy to take our money despite our appearance!

The pics are from our hike and the videos were from the past two days.
