Enough is Enough!

Today I have reached my limit. I went to pick Brody up from daycare and they said he threw up two out of three bottles today. I asked how bad was it...as if I didn't already know. They said it looked like his entire bottle and was projectile. After talking with Kim, I just realized that I have to make the doctors listen to me. We have already been going for weekly weight checks because of the frequent vomiting. He has gained two ounces in 4 weeks. We have an appointment tomorrow at 3:30 with Dr. Jones. I want him to give me a referral to the G.I. specialist and see about ruling out Pyloric Stenosis. I read about it online and he seems to fit many of the symptoms. Of course, some of the same symptoms are reflux too. It seems to be getting progressively worse and he is only getting two or three bottles a day sometimes. And now that they have cut how much we give him in half, he really is only keeping down about 8-10 oz a day. And that's on a good day.
I went to my parent's house last night for dinner. We had finished giving him cereal from a spoon and cereal in his bottle. I sat down to eat dinner, constantly glancing over my shoulder to see if he had thrown up. After only two bites of my hamburger he had thrown up. Uhhh! I just feel in my heart something is not right. Even if it is reflux, there has to be something more we can do. We sit every night with a large bath towel and wait for it. He is so miserable, especially at night. I pray every day that something will change and he will get better. It may be something he has to just grow out of, and if it is please pray for it to be speedy. It so hard to watch someone you love so much, go through this every day.
