She agreed with us that it is probably reflux, since it usually happens right before he gets his medicine and he has been fussing more during feeds. She upped his dose of Zantac (which I had asked to have done last week, but she was out of town and his substitute doctor did not want to). We are hoping that does the trick.
Her only concern is that his last echo showed a slight decrease in cardiac function (from 38% to 32%). She thinks it was just because he was upset and they didn't get good pictures, but we are probably going to get another echo next week. We are praying that it was just bad pictures.
He looks great, otherwise. Sats, blood pressure, heart rate. His heart sounds good. Actually, there was good news from the echo, too, that his pulmonary arteries looked bigger. We are really excited about that.
Because everything else is baseline for him, we are home with little concern. Meanwhile, I will just be the worried mom thinking about his next echo. Since his doctor isn't panicked, I will try to relax about it, too.
