Acid Reflex

Well we talked to Dr. Hammel and he wanted us to fallow up with Kaitlyn's pedi. and see what she thought because Dr. Hammel is backed up with surgeries (which is understandable) We saw Dr. Gary and she looked Kaitlyn over and she said that her chest x ray looks great and her heart rate and oxygen is good, so she doesn't think that it is her heart. She thinks that some of her breathing is from her acid reflex. She thinks that the acid is getting caught in her throat causing her to choke and struggle to breathe. We have already increased her meds as much as possible and also changed the NG to the G button which helps because it closes off her stomach. So right now we are at a cross road, how serious is it that she needs to go back into surgery to have the fundo (which is extremely risky) or do we leave it and monitor it. Right now it doesn't seem to be affecting her health in a bad way, just more of a annoyance. We will still continue to gibe her the breathing treatments as needed and keep her on the monitors. I do have a call out to her pediatric surgeon that put in the g button and see what he thinks or recommends. So as of right now we are just waiting and seeing and praying that it doesn't get any worse. On a different note we did get the results back from Kaitlyn's EEG which is abnormal (which we already know) also Kaitlyn does have MRSA in her g button. She is now on an anti biotic which should hopefully help cure it.
