Ohhhhh, I'm going to get ulcers!
So, Poppy screamed herself hoarse yesterday when she wasn't pleased with DH babysitting while I went to work. I'd been somewhat worried before when she'd choke and cough after a bottle, but since it would go away in minutes, I decided that that was something to do with her enthusiasm eating. Then, tonight, as she was bouncing around, I noticed a swelling on her neck (not jaw). Panic!!!! Do you know it seems to be impossible to do a search of the forums linking 2 words together? Finally, between here and Google, I finally think I've discovered she has Milk Neck. So, she is apparently still ok, but my stomach hurts and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll survive...
