Today is anOther one of those "you must hold me so I can sleeP" days...

That hat I bought at DFO, damn fairies have nicked off with it! Can't find it anywhere!

Have no internet on my computer. Rang tech support and they were useless. Dh reckons the wireless receiver on the laptop is gone, coz he gets Internet on his computer wirelessly as well as both mobiles... It seems to work plugged into a cable though it's ok I spose, dont really sit anywhere other than the table with it, coz it's got a battery life of about 20mins. I want a new one but can't afford it.

Sorry ladies, I won't be at the meet up. J will be at daycare, and I can't go to a playcentre without him! Definately another time though!

I'll be back in later, hopefully!

well that was an interesting appt - jack has compressed points on his head - obviously from birth. he also has trauma around his diaphragm and osophageous (spell?) which is also causing the reflux also the antibiotics that he had at birth could be contributing to it and i have to cut out cow's milk. i also need to give him some probiotic due to the antibiotics. we have a follow up appt next wed. she also said with him being away from me for so long after birth that this maybe causing him wanting that closeness as well - i don't mind i like snuggling up to my lil jack

hope - my dr said to try the infant gaviscon if i felt the zantac wasn't working and yay hopefully we get to meet at the next dfo meet

JJ - jack's isn't the cottage cheese looking spew, it's still the watery stuff

Jaki - i googled silent reflux and ticked off the symptoms that I found that Jack was doing that was basically what made me think he had it

The paediatrician put R on Omeprazole Capsules (Probitor) 20mg. They are little yellow capsules that I have to break open. THey have little white bead looking things in it. I have to roughly give R quarter of the beads twice a day before feeds on a spoon with milk or water.

oh girls, i feel bad now, making you all second guess ur bubbas etc

ferraks - ur not a bad mumma, it's all a guessing game and a matter of elimination, hugs sweety

well we had a good nite, not sure if it's the zantac or it's from the osteo but everytime jack feeds he does a poo!! we have just had a screaming episode but i was naughty n had a chocolate

Ferrals - thanks for the reassurance. What you are saying makes absolute sense. Mine is an IVF bubba and when I feel frustrated I feel really bad because I know how much I wanted him and how many other ladies on IVF would want to be in my position. I'm also in love with my little one, the highs are high and the lows are low!! When he does something really cute it makes the bad moments melt away for a little while and I realise how much I love him.

Iona - I'm eating heaps of chocolate from Easter maybe this is affecting DS behaviour. It's a little comfort eating and sugar to keep me awake. I hope it's not from chocolate...one of my favourite foods.

Well back from the doctors and he said Ella's gut sounds are terrible and they should not sound like that so that would explain all the moaning and groaning he does think she has silent reflux as she did the whole regurgatation of clear fluid and swallowed it back down and then screamed while he was examing her he had a look in her throat and it is a little red so he has put her on Zantac 1ml twice a day and we go back next week and let him know if there is a change in her.

He said it is a very safe drug as they give it to premmie babies in NICU to help them with reflux as there little bodies are not developed yet.
So lets hope this works he said we should see an improvement in her in a day or so if it is silent reflux
