Sick Baby
Jay has been sick now for almost 3 days. He cannot seem to keep anything down...formula or pedialyte. We made a trip to the afterhours clinic yesterday and the doc said that he might have a 24 hour virus. So, we stopped the formula to see if that would help. It didn't! We went back to the afterhours clinic today and saw another doc. He suggested we give Jay benadryl. I thought, "WHAT?? Are you kidding me?" So, we went to the ER instead. The doc there said I did the right thing. Anyway, blood work, and ultrasound, and 2 1/2 hours later we were sent home. Jay has what they call Pyloric stenosis. It requires surgery to fix. However, Jay's is on the larger side of normal. Therefore they want to wait it out. They said that if he does not quit vomiting by tomorrow to take him to his doc. She may want to run more tests...upper GI and such. SO, we are praying that it will stop! I want my baby to feel better and I need a good nights sleep!!!!

i know exactly what that is. blake has reflux pretty bad but since he's putting on weight they aren't worried about it. i worried for a while that it was pyloric stenosis. i'll be praying for him. i have some friends that did have the surgery done and it made a world of difference. poor guy!
Oh, Sarah! I'm so sorry! I hope he doesnt have to have surgery, but if he does, call me and I'll tell you who the best peds surgeons are. The surgery is pretty simple, but maybe they can dilate the pylorus and not actually cut it.
