So we went on Monday to take Maddox to Children's for the upper GI which showed his intestines were fine. We then had to do a follow up on thursday for his weight. I had charted everything from the feedings, amount of food taken, when he's vomiting, when he's peeing and pooping to take to the doctor.
She said on thursday everything was good with his feedings, that he's getting what he should. He had still been vomiting about 1-2 times/day though. His weight on Monday was 8 lbs. 5 oz. And when we went on Thursday, his weight went down to 8 lbs. 2 oz. this of course caused a huge red flag to the doctors. We again went to Children's for an ultrasound to check for the pyloric muscle, which they determined was fine as well (if this was larger than normal, they would have had to do surgery right then)...so thank goodness that was fine.
now they have put him on baby zantac. We have been trying that since Thursday and we have still been having trouble with the vomit. We have a follow up appointment on Monday at 9:30 AM to check his weight once again. If it's still going down, there may be further testing. As of right now though, we're trying everything we can.
Doctors don't think it's truly acid reflux or his formula since he's not getting sick after each feeding. Poor guy is always hungry it seems like since all he takes in seems to come right back out.
We're just hoping and praying this is something that will go away soon. In the meantime, he's sleeping in his pumpkin seat upright in our room until we can figure out what's wrong with him and we can trust him to be alone in his room at night.
