Reflux?

So Kyson's hospital visit went ok. Not a fun experience! But we got some answers. I had to hold him while they hooked him up to all the cords and such but then Kurtis took him back and held him for the procedure. I have a wonderful husband! I couldn't do it...watching him get the x-ray was hard enough. So Grandma Hahn came and she kept me company in the waiting room for a bit. The procedure was seriously 10mins if that..so fast! So we found out this...
1. Kyson has to grow out of his breathing problem. (stridor) Which is what we hoped for. This means he does NOT need corrective surgery.

2. He has Reflux. What is that you ask??? regurgitation of acid from the stomach

Symptoms:

Frequent spitting up or vomiting
Irritability when feeding

Refusing food or eating only small amounts

Arching the back while feeding

"Wet" burps- When a baby has a "wet" burp, a small amount of liquid is regurgitated as he burps.
Frequent hiccups
Frequent coughing

Poor sleep habits with frequent waking

It is strange because some of these symptoms JUST started happening. For the past couple of days for atleast one or two feedings I could NOT get him to eat. Atleast not at his schduled time. He would throw a huge fit for about 30-40mins. Then whine all through the feeding. You never think that your baby has it I guess because some of the symptoms are common for other things. Or just a difficult baby. But now that I have read this and am putting A and B together...it ALL MAKES SENSE! So Kyson was put on a presciption and in the book I have it says that you can see great results in your child within days. So we hope so. Kyson has had a hard time sleeping day and night. This might be what we have been waiting for and it just seems like a blessing that a minor procedure for a breathing problem can solve what seems like all his problems.

So many times you go to a Doctor and they just think the simplest thing. I mean I took him to the Doctor 5 times before they caught on that he had an ear infection! I knew something was wrong and no one would listen to me. Now thank goodness for this Doctor who took the time to look at my son!
