Today was a very stressful day.  Gianna woke up in the middle of the night last night for the second time in a row!  She just wakes up crying loudly as though she is in pain.  I've had to carry her and sing to her to try and soothe her.  Papa has been at the hospital working, but when he came home this morning, I told him to check her out.  In the afternoon, Gigi again began crying like she's in pain.

Papa advised that we take her to the emergency room to get an x-ray, so off we went.  She was so upset.  She's struggling to get out of Papa's arms!

Papa took her into the x-ray room. Only one parent was allowed in the room, and Papa, being the doctor, was the one to accompany Gigi.

They put her into this contraption to keep her still for the x-ray.  Luckily, the x-ray showed that Gigi only had a lot of gas and poo in her system.  The nurses gave her an enema, and Gigi's condition improved.  By the early evening, she was feeling much better.

Grandma and Grandpa came to babysit Gigi, and she was her happy self by the time they arrived!
