So Monday I took Dane to Childrens Mercy to meet with the urologist. His circumcision surgery is scheduled for June 15th. Tuesday I took him to the Pediatrician because he is constantly and I do mean constantly throwing up. My guess is that he has acid reflux. The doctor prescribed him some zantac and told me I could try Enfamil AR which has added rice and is for babies that spit up frequently. She also ordered him to have a sonogram to make sure he doesn't have some sort of tumor muscle thing in his stomach that is sometimes common in first born sons. She didn't think he does but she wants to be on the safe side. The appointment was made for Wednesday. So here we are back at Childrens Mercy. The worst part of the whole deal is that I had to make him fast for 4 hours before we went. This was so awful because he doesn't understand and he just cried and cried for like an hour because he was hungry. I just held him so he would know I loved him. When we got there they gave him a vanilla pacifier which helped. The sonogram went well and they should have the results to the doctor in a day or so. Dane was so wonderful during the whole visit. He is such a big boy. After the appointment we went and found a chair so he could chow down on a much needed lunch. Aunt Michele came down and kept us company and made him feel all better.
I wasn't too concerned about the test because I really thought it was acid reflux but neither the medicine or the formula seems to be working. He has spit up all night long. It is so bad he spits up at night too and rubs his head all in it until he wakes himself up. The positive about going to the doctor was I got to weigh him which we havent done for at least a month. Dane is now 15lbs. I am going to have to start looking for a new car seat because it only goes up to 22lbs.
Sorry if I worried everyone. Thank you for all the prayers.
Glad it all went well! Hope the results turn out good!
