Yesterday we celebrated X's fifth birthday. I can't believe he is five. Time flies! He had a good day and party and is very excited to be five. Five. That's a big milestone. I remember when N turned 5. N turned 10 (double digits!) last month. Two momentous birthdays in a month. Our boys are growing.
X is still struggling with puking. sigh. Sometimes at night, sometimes during the day with a bolus. Sometimes right at the beginning of a bolus and sometimes not until the end. There is no pattern, other than he is following his pattern of inconsistencies. Today the puke is full of acid, like when we were hospitalized in Feb. as soon as the feeding pump is turned off he is fine, running around and normal. It's enough to drive me mad.
Right now I am thinking it's the new antacid. We are going back to the other one and will see if that makes a difference. It has different inactive ingredients than the other one he was on.
I've been on the phone all morning with pharmacists and googling ingredients. I can't stand mornings like that. X is vying for attention, tackling the dog, N has questions, the dog is howling to go out, all why trying to figure out stuff on the phone.
We are going to pick up the new antacid and see if that helps. I'm not even going to think about it not working. Our new pharmacy spent a lot of time seeing if they could order the old stuff from our old pharmacy and they can. Hallelujah!! All of our prescriptions will be at the same place.
Just praying the puking stops. X threw up twice this morning all ready. I had to find a babysitter to take N to the library. I've had to cancel library plans all week because of the puking. I feel bad how all this affects N as well. My heart goes out to both of them.
The good news is that X isn't losing weight, he isn't lethargic, we can get the old antacid back (oh how I'm praying that is the problem) and for the most part he is tolerating his night feed, which means he can get calories. Someday this will all be a faint memory.
