Another Weekend at MMC

So everyone My little man was doing so well....up until Thursday. Thursday we went to the Pediatricians and well besides all the good news like HE WEIGHS 13 POUNDS NOW!!!! And the Doctor was so impressed by the improvments he is making....and everything WAS going well.............then they gave him his 6 month shots....all 5 of them....including a flu shot. Thats when things went downhill....and ended us right back into the Childrens Hospital Saturday night. (First the Emergency Room and then the Childrens Hospital) Thursday night Noah decided to scare his Grampa and he started Retching after his feed while I had ran to the store. He cannot throw up due to the Nissen surgery so he kept Retching and Retching. Well....then he began starting to get fussy everytime we got his feed up to 40ml's....and then Saturday as I took off for a baby free day to myself. I got to Desiree's and mom called Noah had Retched again after his feed and when she went to vent his tummy through the G tube....it was like he was throwing up through the TUBE it went everywhere and then it "started coming from down below :)" enough so that he needed a new outfit! So mom called me and I called the DR. They said bring him to Emergency and get him checked out. So we did.
While at Emergency they put 110 ml of dye into his G tube so that they could xray and make sure the tube was in the right spot. Well after the xray he got really really fussy and again started retching.....
Thats when they decided to admit him back into Barbara Bush till he could handle his feeds without retching. They hooked him up to an IV of fluids and decided to give his tummy a break. If he keeps retching he could undo his surgery and we would have to start all over again so this is our best option. Not the option I wanted but our best one.
This morning around 12am he acted very hungry so they let me give him 50ml of Pedialyte. That stayed down ok. So they continued to let me give him a little every once and a while. He kept it down everytime. All his xrays they have taken and his barium test this morning came back fine so they think he is just having a reaction to his shots. They just let me give him what he would take by mouth of formula and he took 2 ounces. Next feed we are going to give him a bottle and let him take as much as he wants and then pump the rest and if he keeps it down....we can go home again!!! Crossing fingers!!! Man I'm tired of this place!!!

Well I'll keep you updated!

Oh, by the way he also went to the eye doctor on thursday and he looked in his eyes and said that everything inside the eye looks good(sigh of relief) and he might be a little near sighted when he gets older but everything looks good. YAY!! Some good news at least!
