After Addison woke up from her nap yesterday she was complaining her belly hurt. She was very fussy and I could not please her. Even to change her diaper was a struggle. She wanted a diaper, I got it and she screamed for a pull up, I got the pull up and she screamed for big girl panties and on and on and on. She even at one point was crying for me to bring her to the sink. She started vomiting last night around 8:30 and continued to vomit 2 more times through out the night until 4 am. She was saying things like "I am sorry I puked," "No more puke please," "Is my food in a tube?" and she pointed to her nose, "I need to go to the hospital and get an IV." It was a very sleepless night and I have decided to trash our comforter instead of taking it to the laundry mat again. I plan to just go buy a regular blanket, something that will fit in my washing machine as soon as I can.
I called and spoke with her pediatrician's nurse today. Dr. Guidroz had mentioned Addison needing to see a speech therapist about her feeding issues back in February. When Addison vomited, it was very chunky like she was not chewing. She still chews and spits out her food but not as much as she used to. She has been gaining 1 pound a month but I really think it is from drinking milk.  Dr. Guidroz sent over the referral and Addison has an appointment next Tuesday for an evaluation with a therapist that specializes with feeding and oral motor skills. Once she starts therapy her sessions will be at the same time and day each week in their office in Baton Rouge. It has only been 3 months since she stopped getting her other therapy sessions through Early Steps.
Since she has now vomited 7 times in 10 days me and Tre have decided it is time to get in touch with the Cinncinnati Children's Hospital and get her an appointment. Even if they tell us the same as her GI here I will have peace of mind we did everything we could for her. After her stricture being over looked for so long I cannot rely on her doctors even though she has new ones.
I know how awful it is to vomit and to think that is all she knows, it just breaks my heart. She is still waking up 2-3 times a night so the sleep depirvation doesn't help me out either. She has never slept in her crib and sleeps in her nap nanny between me and Tre'. Please continue to pray for our family and Addison's doctors guidance to lead us to some answers.
