Rude Awakenings

It's started again.

Every morning this week Lily has woken up between 6-7am coughing, gagging and throwing up (more like spit up than a full blown throw up...tmi?) It is the worst thing to wake up to in the morning. It breaks my heart!
And on top of it, last night she was soaked at 3am, drank all her milk and then started crying again at 3:30 wanting more water. *sigh* I hope this isn't her sodium.

I'm going to put another call into GI today. Right now Lily is on a total of 2tsp of prilosec a day. I've been reading things about how compounded+flavored prilosec is not the best to treat reflux because the potency of it fades fast in that form.
When this started up last time, about 2 weeks ago, we decided to go a tsp in the morning, 1/2tsp at bedtime and then another 1/2tsp at 3am with her HC. It worked for about...2 weeks. It seems like it's always doing this. It'll work right away from a few weeks and then it'll peter out and we're stuck being awoken by our daughter gagging and throwing up every.single.morning.

We'll see what the GI has to say about it. Last time we just talked through voice mails but it seemed like she didn't know why Lily is doing this :-(
