OK...

Well, you guys saw my last post. We just got the call today from the doc's office.

1) Yep, he has acid reflux, but there is also something else. So, not only is he being put on a more expensive medicine (which is costing $50), but he is having to go for MORE testing tomorrow. The good thing is that the testing will be at the doc's office instead of an overnight stay at the hospital.

2) I don't know if I had ever mentioned about a "wheezing" that we had been feeling through his back... Well, that is what got this whole thing started. Since he was about two months old we had mentioned to the doctors about him having a "wheeze" that you could feel if you place your hand on his back. Instead of doing what we were telling, the doctors would use a stethoscope on his chest and would hear nothing. X-rays were done a few times through the emergency room, and nothing. Finally my wife was able to get the pediatrician to place her hand on his back, and FINALLY she was able to see what we were talking about (after only 14 months... :(). Thinking it was just a sympton of acid reflux, this whole "check for reflux" thing began.
Well, the hospital staff had taken X-rays on Noah (I don't think I ever gave my youngest's name) to make sure the probe/tube that used for his reflux testing. We were told today that the "wheezing" is actually an issue separate from the reflux--the X-ray showed that there is something not right with the upper part of his right lung--and it has taken 14 months to find this out???

So, anyway, just wanted to let you guys know what was going on with the little one.

That really sucks! I have a new baby myself and cannot imagine what I'd do if we found stuff like that...well, the acid reflux is a deffinate possibility as it runs in my wife's family (gallops?)...

Good luck my friend!
All I can say is I'm really sorry, this last week for me has been hell, everyone around me seems to be dieing or sick.

Same here. A woman I work with, her grandson was hit by a car and killed outside his home this last week. A guy I know, his brother was shot and killed this weekend. Too many people going into the hospital for one thing or another. It just keeps going...
I appreciate it.
Those f_ckers. I'm sick of medical "professionals" and their lack of anything *but* professionalism.

"Just overreacting parents," is what they think. Whoops, look who effed up now.

Sorry, I'm tired of it is all...but at least he will be getting treatment and with any luck this will turn out just fine in the end.

I wish you and your family the best, my friend. You have my support, as always.

Poor thing!!!
I'm so sorry!
Please move to Canada. We may have long waits, but it's free! I'd hate for something like this to take even longer to find out he needs a 100k surgery or transplant!
My heart goes out to you and your family! I sure hope he's going to be alright...
