One step forward and two steps back

I woke up around 11:45 last night and asked mommy to hug me. I was feeling bad and then I told her to get a towel. But before she could get out of the bed I threw up. Mommy called the surgeon and the resident said for me to call and get an appointment in the morning. I couldn't go back to sleep after I threw up and took a bath so daddy played with me until 4 am. Dr. Lopoo said he isn't concerned about me throwing up just yet. He said because I have reflux and hiatal hernia I will always be an easy vomiter. He gave me an order to have another swallow test in 6 weeks to see if my duodenum is still dialated (enlarged from the food being stuck there). He also removed my steri-strips from my boo boo so now I can take regular baths. Mommy called my GI, Dr. Alberty, to see if my biopsy results were in to see if maybe she fed me something I shouldn't eat. I was checked for celiacs disease (gluten allergy) but the results were negative. All the biopsies were fine except the one of my duodenum showed inflamation. Dr. Alberty wants to see me Monday and he prescribed Reglan to help my stomach move the food down. I also had to get my Prevacid refilled today and since my pharmacy  deductible was not met yet, it was $170.00 for a 15 day supply. Mommy wants to wait and see if I will vomit again before she starts me on Reglan because the side effects are so bad. All I ate from  7 -6 today was some cheese its. Pawpaw Speedy fried some fish and I ate 1 piece and 3 french fries for dinner. Later I asked for some cereal and I ate a small bowl. I was playing with Mawmaw Vickie in my toy room and I told her the tube in my nose hurt me. Mawmaw told me it was to help me feel better but I just repeated myself that it hurt my belly. My hospital stay must have been tramatic to me since just out of the blue I will say things like that. I also got scared when mommy told me we were going to see the doctor today. I am keeping mommy on her toes. She hasn't even been able to unpack our suitcases from our hospital stay. I hope we all get some much needed rest soon.
