Diaries Of A Trophy Wife

It happened again

Early yesterday morning Dalen (sorry to be so graphic) vomited again. He did fine when I fed him at 3am. Then when I fed him again at 7am he threw it up. Both the bottles were the Nutramigen which is easy on a baby's stomach because it isn't milk based. That is what had me so worried. Before he had only had that problem with the Similac, he was fine on Nutramigen. After that I got him cleaned up and call Travis' work and told them he needed to call me, it was an emergency. He left work and met me down at the main clinic. I'm so glad he was there with me, I was about ready to go to pieces thinking of the worst. We saw the same nurse practitioner that we had seen at last Friday's follow-up. She had us go down immediately for an upper GI scan to check for something internally that if it came back for he would have to have surgery, but thank the Lord he was ok as far as that went. I took it that they thought this all was serious too because they worked him in for the GI scan immediately and there was a rush put on the results. As of right now the NP thinks it is just a very bad case of reflux. It is just something we have to manage until he grows out if it, and that can take up to a year if not longer. As for today, so far, he hasn't had any problems, but we are keeping a very close eye on him. I feel incredibly bad for him. He has been on the Prevacid for a few days now. He has been actually able to sleep in his crib again because he is able to lay down. We are praying this medicine works.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Dalen. Please continue to do so.
