Well, I think Kayla's surgery will be "officially" postponed tomorrow when the surgeon comes on duty. She's still drinking well from the bottle although I noticed some arching and "reflux" type behavior this afternoon. They are going to continue watching her for signs of problems and I've asked for a GI consult from the Dr that has been following her from before (she's from TCH). The fortunate thing is her GI doctor just happens to be the GI attending for the next two weeks so that worked out well.
Kamryn has started having more problems with her reflux now. I am hoping it is something simple like upping her medication to compensate for her weight gain, but poor baby has been really uncomfortable with her feedings and not finishing her bottles now. Tonight she spit up with a burp and she screamed in pain for almost an hour. Then she burped and spit up again and started choking...then she screamed again for another 20 minutes. Fortunately, I had told the GI doctor on the phone this morning that Kamryn was starting to have problems like Kayla and she said I could bring her in tomorrow and she would look at her and develop a plan with me for both girls. This was a HUGE break because she's never seen Kamryn and it normally takes 4 weeks to get in to see this Dr, so for her to let her come in the next day was such a relief!!
I hope we can get both girls reflux problems under control soon...they say they most babies grow out of it, so I'm just hoping that happens very soon. On a lighter note, Kamryn has started pooping on her own now (I know you all are excited...lol). Never thought I'd be so happy to see so much poop!!
