Six months

Aiden is having a terrible time with reflux despite starting Reglan. He is now on three reflux medications (Reglan, Prevacid, and Zantac) at the maximum dose on all.  Yet he still continues to vomit after feedings.  He now weighs 9lbs. 7 oz., but it was a struggle to get to that weight.  He has good days and bad with his reflux. He has started to dislike tummy time, mostly due to pressure and discomfort on his belly.  He is eating cereal and we have tried a few fruits. He spits out more than he eats.  It is so hard to see your baby so sick just from eating.  He tries so hard to be happy but throwing up would make anyone feel terrible.  We know that something else is going to have to be done because he is struggling so much. The doctors think that medication alone may not fix his reflux issues.  We have started to discuss options of surgery or placement of a feeding tube to help with feedings.  He just can't gain the weight he needs to without further intervention.  Also, he has developed bilateral inguinal hernias from all the vomiting.  This will also require surgical intervention at some point for repair.
