We are very excited..the speech department called me from the hospital and we spoke about Dani's issues and we are going in for her modified barium testing on July 14th. Seems so far away but at least it is coming. The woman I spoke to was very helpful and says it sounds do much like reflux and the test will help determine that. It will also eliminate or rule out aspiration. She said that is the main concern right now.
In the mean time...she is back to spitting up again..not a violently but it is back. She slept great the first two nights but we were up over and over again last night. The nurse at the hospital says that her getting up to nurse during the night helps push the acid back down so she can sleep again. Laying flat out makes the reflux come up and into her chest and throat. Breastmilk helps push it away. They need to find whet will help keep it down so she can sleep.
I am so tired and I am complaining......AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Yawn Yawn!! There I have had my complaining session. I need sleep and so does she...poor thing. She is up way more than she was a newborn. That is crazy.
I am spending so much time with her and I need to spend some time with the other girls. I want to write about our adventures too.................maybe I can do that soon. Maybe tomorrow....got to catch a nap or I am no good to anyone.....not even me.
The countdown is on to answers ..............14 days.

It will definitely get better. At least she is still breastfeeding. Alex has been refusing for the last week. Today he had a similar test done and it showed that he was apirating. So we have to thicken his feeds and solids to help it go down the right tube and stay down due to acid reflux. I know this is only day one but he has done so much better. I just wanted to show you that there is hope and it will definitely get better.
