[tri-med] Re: startle reflux

There is no word on her heart/lungs.  The blue tinge is much better.  I 
don't notice it nearly as often.  She has a check-up on February 8.  Hope 
the doctor gives more answers at that time.  Payton lives to have a hand on 
her head also.
Up until last week she was gaining weight steadily.  Last week she lost 
about 2 ounces.
She had a lot of gas pains.  I feel so sorry for her.  she pushes and pushes 
trying to get rid of it.
Thanks for the advice, I will try some of the relaxation techniques you 
mention.
