Well we went to the GI dr yesterday.... and have addined 1CC of Zantac to the mix (15mg)
We also have to go for a swallow studay and a milk scan.... If she turns blue again, or fails these tests it will mean surgery to make the opening to her stomach smaller at Columbia in NYC
They said its a small chance... but I hate that they even had to metion it!
For the milkscan they add radioactive material to her bottle and watch where it goes as she drinks and for an hour after shes done, then the next day we come in to see if there are any traces of the material in her lungs. For the swallow study I was told they have the baby sit in a foam chair and you just feed them like you normally would, and they watch waht happnes on a monitor, this will also come with an evaluation by a speach terapist.
I am hoping everything turns out well, its very scary for me. She STILL has this dumb cold (day 14) and I'm sure that, combined with teething, isn't helping this refulx at all!
PS... I'm not posting about these tests or the possibility of surgery on FB, I don't want my family freaking out.... they tend to overract, AND misread things! lol
