Since last Thursday night, Samantha has been vomiting almost after each feeding.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0normally happens 30 mins – 1 hour after feed. It is not normal spitting of milk but\u00a0forceful vomit. We afraid it may be Pyloric Stenosis <\/a>as what Jonathan had when he was 3 weeks old. On Monday, we brought Samantha to the paediatrician and he did an ultrasound.\u00a0 The result came back negative for Pyloric Stenosis.\u00a0 If then, what could be wrong with her?<\/p>\n

Could it be reflux? I started giving her\u00a0AR (anti-regurgitation)\u00a0formula on Wednesday. I have also reduced the amount of milk from 2 oz to 1 oz. I calculated yesterday, out of 10 feedings in 24 hours, she vomited 5 times. I hope it’s reflux or just some temporary stomach discomfort.\u00a0 Better not be any kind of those rare illnesses again. Still monitoring her condition and hope she will get better. She gained 150g two weeks ago and because of this, she looses it. She is only 3kg now at 2 months.<\/p>\n

Another not so good news. Apparently her severe acidosis did affect her brain. Doctor found water in brain (hydrocephalus) when he did a head ultrasound. Need MRI scan for futher examination.\u00a0 This hits us badly. It’s so scary when you read about this medical condition. Praying hard that this can be fixed and she doesn’t have to go through any major operations.<\/p>\n

May the Lord place His healing hands on Samantha and heal every part of her body that\u00a0are not well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
