For those of you following along with what's going on with Bryson... he had his surgery in May, and was still spitting up for weeks after, so at his post-surgery check up I asked the surgeon what she thought, and she diagnosed it as reflux. He's been on some acid reducing medication for a few weeks and it hasn't helped much and Bryson is still losing weight. He's down to about 15 pounds now and he's 11 months. Not good. I met with his pediatrician a couple days ago and since Bryson had lost a few ounces in just a week, he suggested more testing.
He told me the tests were to check for celiac disease and cystic fibrosis. After doing a little research I was really nervous to get the results back. I talked to the pediatrician this morning, and thankfully Bryson has neither of those diseases. He did, however, have some abnormal kidney tests, so we are scheduled to go in for an ultrasound on Monday to see what's going on.
Poor little guy has seen more of the doctors office and hospital than even I have. But he's pushing through it and is happy as ever. I wish there was more I could do to help him. Thank goodness for doctors that know what they're doing.
We'll keep you updated.
