Reflux

I took Torah in to see the doctor again today because her coughing and spitting up were not getting any better. We think that her reflux is acting up again. They did do another chest x-ray and some blood work which both came back normal. Torah's PCP called the Special Care doctor in Denver to see what needs to be done to help and they have decieded to put her back onto pump feeds (we have been doing bolus feeds for a few months) and also to bump up her reflux medication to full strength. We go back in a week for a follow up and if nothing seems to be helping then they will change the reflux medication for a week to see if that helps. After all that, if nothing else seems to help - then they will order a Upper GI to see if the fundo came loose.
We also found out that Torah's PCP will be leaving in January to go back to Minnesota. So we are on the look for a new PCP for her her in Douglas. Pray that we will be able to find one that will be able to work with Torah.
We did go back to Kansas for Halloween. Jace had a blast and we surprised a lot of family and friends. Torah did good with her health and I think that she enjoyed seeing her grandparents.
