Avery Update

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday. I can tell you all that I am slightly relieved!!!

I decided to take Avery back to the doctor because:
1. Get her Thrush checked out because there isn't much improvement at all. She has had thrush badly now going on 6 days (or more).
2. Check her breathing...sometimes it sounds as though its gurgley
3. Check for possible Reflux

Well
1. Her Thrush is still bad according to the doctor and now she will have a new medication that I will put on twice a day...its actually Monistat...yes Monistat but I guess it works great fast! Hopefully we will see some results soon!! Until then I will continue to sterilize her bottles and nuks EVERYDAY...bllllahhhhh...Thrush is NO fun!!!

2. and 3.Her breathing is normal and there is nothing in her lungs and the doctor is not too concerned about the breathing. She says that the gurgling is in her throat. I also explained her issues (spitting up after each bottle; crying before, during and after feedings; arching of the back while eating, hiccups ALL the time, crying after burps and hiccups). She said that sounds exactly like REFLUX. She also said that Avery sounds horsey and gurgley which has to do with her Reflux. So now Avery is on Reflux medication. The doctor said Avery will eventually outgrow it and its just a matter of time before their bodies figure things out!

I am so glad and hopeful that Avery will get some relief (and me...haha) fast and can enjoy growing up and not be upset all the time.
