Reflux

My poor baby bug has been having a rough few days!  On Wednesday Beckett vomited shortly after one of his feedings,  I am familiar with spit up.  This was coming out the nose, projectile, and took entire towel to clean up.  About 30 minutes later he did it again.  Twenty minutes later he began dry heaving.  I called the nurse and she suggested that maybe it was a one time occurrence and if he threw up again after his next feeding to bring him in.  Well he didn't vomit for the rest of the night.  But he were so worried about Beckett we rotated all night and stayed up to watch him!  Thursday rolled around and he was fine until around 4pm he vomited once and then two hours later he spit up.  All night and most of the next day he was fine no vomit or spit up.  Well Friday afternoon came and around 6pm he vomited again!  This time he didn't stop, every feeding he vomited and cried!  The poor guy would scream when we laid him flat.  First thing Saturday morning I called the pediatrician's office and they wanted to see him.  We made a dash to Midland for his appointment.  The Dr diagnosed Beckett with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.  Beckett has lost so much weight since birth, he is at 6 pounds 8 oz now.  The Dr prescribed some reflux medicine to be ingested 3 times daily.  Also the Dr put Beckett on a special formula to help get his weight back up.  On top of everything my poor lil guy also has a terrible diaper rash caused from the acid in the reflux. 


Beckett takes his medicine with out a fuss and doesn't fight the bottle with the new formula.  The Dr said it would take a week for the acid to get out of his system.  Beckett is still vomiting and spitting up.  From Monday at 2pm tell Tuesday at 2pm he vomited at every feeding but 1!  Today he has kept the last 4 feedings down.  Also his diaper rash his completely healed.  On Friday is Beckett's two week check up.  Thankfully my little bug is sleeping pretty good, thank goodness.  I just pray the next few days he is able to keep his feedings down!!!
