Homeward Bound

Probable answers. That is what we have, and to me that feels heavenly! Especially with Cold Stone to celebrate!

So after an interesting night last night, in which a nurse told the doctors that she saw him going pale and his lip drooping (which she didn't tell me and I didn't see, even though I got up every time she came in the room) - the doctors decided to check for reflux even though he showed no symptoms of it. So they fed him some chalky liquid and x-rayed him swallowing it. Ta-Da!!!! Large esophagus found, meaning he has reflux (and now we've discovered that he actually does have some of the rare symptoms).

Apparently it is possible that in order to prevent him from choking on his stomach acids and food, Cdc's brain has the capability of telling him to breathe less/shallow. So since all other avenues have come up fruitless, this is the best explanation. So we are going to go home on the morning treating reflux and hoping that it is the RIGHT explanation!

We would have gone home tonight, but they did one extra test to make sure he doesn't have a hemangioma in his windpipe. It was clear. There are some tests we won't get the results of for a while. But for now we are going home with some semblance of confidence! We feel blessed, protected and loved! We are grateful for a healthy little boy to take home with us! We are also grateful for all of the expressions of love we've received, especially prayers! Thank you all!
