GI....here we are, hoping for an answer, sitting in yet another Dr. Appointment with our 6 month old who spits up every feeding, has random staring episodes, and cries many hours of the day. GI Doc put Juleyana on the reflux med omeprazole. He also suggested and ordered a barium swallow and a PH prob, which meant we would be over night in the hospital.
February 4th was our admit date for our tests 1 week prior we had to take her off her reflux meds which worked very well for the 2 weeks she was on them. On the 6th day of being off the reflux med she had her test. Juleyana's pH prob test for 24hr came back normal no acid reflux. I laughed....it is evident my daughter has reflux, she spits up with every feeding at 7 months old.
Everyone thought we were crazy....no one had seen what we were talking about with her staring seizure like episodes. Until, she had one on the table in radiology during the barium swallow. I have never seen another nurse freak out so bad and rush us back to the floor. My thoughts were....FINALLY, someone will believe us! That evening we were sent home and put her back on reflux meds. By this time Juleyana had these seizure episodes every 2 hrs from the time we left the hospital. 5 o'clock pm the next day we were back in the ER (they wanted to bolus anti seizure meds) and ended up admitted (per my husbands request) without seizure meds. She had a CT, that was normal and her EEG was normal as well. The peds doc thought for sure she wasn't having seizures but bad reflux. They increased her reflux meds and 2 days latter we were discharged. She didn't have any episodes for 2weeks. Now what...?
