Bryson's eating issues have continued for the past 2 months. At the recommendation of his speech therapist, we went to see his GI specialist last week. She thought given everything that has gone on, it would be best to have an endoscopy done. She said if she couldn't find anything through that, then they would put a PH prob in for 24 hour monitoring and we would have to stay in the hospital. We had this scheduled for Wednesday. We arrived at 9a and of course they were running behind so he didn't go back till about 12:30p. Needless to say we had a tired and very hungry boy by then. Since he couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight the night before, we hadn't had anything either and were starving. The procedure itself was quick and she ended up putting a PH prob in, so after recovery, it was off to our room. He was all over that floor of the hospital, in the playroom, in the outside area and back again. He finally crashed at 6:30p Wednesday and I crashed shortly after. The doctor came in Thursday to discharge us and said that thet ests show he has lots of reflux. She has put him on 2 medications. I hope they do the trick and that things improve soon.

My fingers are crossed for you all that it will solve the issues he is having! That picture is so cute, even with all the cords and tubes, he looks like a happy little guy!
Aww. Poor B. Hope the meds help.
What'd they give him?
Oh the poor little guy! I sure hope the medicine helps with the reflux. He's such a trooper!
Glad they found what might be causing the problems. I'll be praying he feels better and the new meds work.
