This morning we were talking to our doctor about how fussy and upset Brayden gets when he eats. It literally looks like it hurts him. We found out that there is a surgery they do on reflux babies (which sent me into immediate tears) but she doesn't think he will need it. They still have a few more tricks up their sleeves.
They increased him to the maximum dosage of Prevacid and he is already on the max dose of Reglan. They also switched him from Thick-It to rice cereal (though after the 8pm feed I don't know if we will continue with the rice).
So what do we need to happen so that we can go home? We need Brayden to take his bottles and not be in pain while doing so. We are praying that the extra prevacid will work but we won't know until tomorrow at the earliest.
They may try a few other things if the meds don't work, including a possible upper GI study, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.
Thank you for your prayers!
