We took Rilee for his upper GI today, and I am so happily relieved to find out it's only REFLUX! for now we are going to try to treat it by adding some rice cereal to his formula, and elevating the head of his bed.
I'm probably just being a psycho Mom and getting all worked up, but I am so terrified! I don't know who all has read my blog on myspace about my baby and his surgery at 5 days old so tell the short version, My Rilee started to vomit feces when he was 3 days old, there was no reason for it, he was admitted to Children's Hospital in Knoxville Tn it took them almost 3 days to figure out why he was doing this, it turned out that his bowel had a very small twist in it, the twist was just big enough to make him very sick, but not big enough to show up on any test, so he had surgery to fix the problem, and all was well. Rilee is now 3 months old, and he started throwing up more than he should, he's gaining weight like he should, but his pediatrition is a little concerned, so we have to take him tomorrow morning to have an Upper GI to see what is going on with him, I am so terrified of what may be wrong, I am hoping and praying that it is something simlpe and no surgery will be needed.
