So, the Baby Isaac has acid reflux and has been on Zantac for a couple weeks or so. And it has helped him tremendously during the day. However, our nights are still touch and go. I'm more sleep-deprived than ever due to my ADHD med making it hard to fall asleep in the first place coupled with the anxiety of wondering when Isaac is going to jar me awake.
I have narrowed it down to a gas issue. At least that's what I think. Who really knows with that child? He makes me feel like I have never had a baby before. Totally humbles me.
Since I wanted some ideas about gas (Mylicon and Gas-X are merely a joke to Isaac's digestive tract) I decided to do a Google search. My first attempt at searching involved the words, "one-year-old gas problem." You would think this would be clear enough, especially for the sophiscated bots at Google.
Wrong. Apparently, those bots have been laid off and replaced with bots from fascist countries (fucking outsourcing) that thought that I wanted, clearly, to hear about child abuse crimes. I couldn't believe the horrors that came up before my eyes. I will spare the details here because it is sickening.
For the sake of honesty, the results were a 50/50 mix for toddler gas problems and child abuse crimes. But still, really? Not that I want to negate the fact that the reports were awful, but I have to call Google out on a technicality because most of them didn't even include "gas" in the story. So why? Why would the bots even come up with these things as results? Google has gone off the rails and the world has gone mad.
And several grown men and women, as I unwillingly learned, need to burn s-l-o-w-l-y and painfully in hell.
So I tried all different search criteria until I found what I wanted. For those who want to know, the safest search criteria is, "toddler gas problem." However, this particular criteria still turned up the news story about the one-year-old girl who is pregnant with her fetal twin. Which, again with the technicalities, is clearly *not* a gas problem. Although it would explain why I am tempted to call my kids "little farts" so often.
