The reflux is bad.........

Well I headed to the hospital today with Layla to have an upper GI to make sure she didn't need surgery for her reflux. She has gained weight, but has a lot of irritation from all the puking and she still can't sleep well because of the pain. The doc and the hospital who did her GI said that her reflux is severe, but her stomach connections looked ok so hopefully no surgery. We are waiting for the ped to call us back and let us know what new medicine we are supposed to try. In the meantime, we just need to try to hold her and keep her as comfortable as possible. It is very sad :( No pictures today - it's been a little crazy. Hopefully we will have better news in a few days.

That is super sad. I'm glad to hear that they are most likely not doing surgery. They'll find something that works for her. Just think, it was bad with Hannah, but they didn't diagnose reflux until much later. At least they caught this one early and are trying to help her. Poor baby. She's not even 3 weeks old yet and already all of these problems! Hang in there & good luck with the new medicine.
