It's a Miracle!!!

So, after soliciting input from anyone who would listen about my screaming, screeching, totally out of character Issie, my wonderful friend Michelle (aka miracle worker) helped me solve my problem. Apparently her little girl did the same thing around the same age and it turned out to be an intolerance to dairy. The behaviors were almost exactly the same and I was giving her more and more milk to calm her and basically shut her up and it was just getting worse, duh. We decided to do a 3 day trial with no dairy. Instantly, I am not kidding here, she was different. She woke up from her nap yesterday afternoon and I gave her rice milk instead of milk and the screaming has stopped. She babbled and squealed some but it was her normal range, she slept without waking up screaming, just a little fussing. And best of all today, she just toddled around the house, playing quietly with books and her little people and giggling about her hat and pouncing on her new leather chair. It was precious, it was Issie, she is back!

I know people deal with much bigger life issues than a screaming baby and I know I am blessed with pretty easy kiddo's and very grateful but this was so sudden, so different, so difficult that I could not imagine it being a long term situation. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michelle. We have our Issie back! Praise God for girlfriends.
