Billy was doing well with Hyperbarics, he even came home looser (from the spasticity) than he has been. Then came Friday, he has to be off Prevacid for 72 hours for the PH Probe (to determine, once again, whether or not he has reflux. Which I would think spitting up the formula would be enough evidence.) He did O.K for the first 24 hours, then came Saturday and they took him off Reglan (helps to digest food and move it along the bowels.) He did O.K. for the first 19 hours, then he started breathing hard, coughing, and now he has been moaning for the last three hours. I checked his residual (how much food is left in his tummy) so I could vent his line (release gas from his stomach via Gtube), and there are at least 300ml's still in there. Which means he is not digesting his food, hence the moaning. This is going to be a long two and a half days until this stupid test is over. Pray we all make it through this in good mental and physical health. I would hate for Billy Boy to get aspiration pneumonia to prove that he has reflux.
Oh, yeah, something weird happen to me this week. I was taking a shower and Monet noticed somethin in the middle of my back. She started freaking saying I had a spider, but upon further inspection, it was a tick. Now anyone that knows Billy (Dad), knows that he is a clean freak, so it's not do to a poorly kept house. The best we can figure, our dog Lucy (who loves to play outside in the dirt and dig for squirrels, gophers, and lizards), probably brought it in and left it on the couch for me. The bite turned into a bullseye and I had to be put on antibiotics so I wouldn't get Lyme's disease. That was a first for me and now that Lucy is on a treatment, it will hopefully be the last.
Does the madness ever end???
