I am just doing a quick post since today has been an especially rough day.
Jaron took Riley to see her new pediatrician yesterday, Dr. Vereschagen. She weighed in at 17 pounds 10 ounces. She had a chest xray and some bloodwork done. Jaron said she did such a good job. The doctor called us that evening and told us her chest xray was clear...no signs of inflammation or asthma. Her calcium levels came back high so we are being referred to an endocrinologist at Stanford to have some further testing done. We are also being referred to a pediatric GI.
For now, she will continue her prevacid tablets (for the reflux) and we have to try and get 400 extra calories in her per day. This, of course, is easier said than done. We are pushing the pediasure, but with the throwing up, I am still having a rough time.
Pray specifically for gaining weight and a decrease in her throwing up.
Pray also for my sanity.
