Heard back from Ben's GI doctor and he said Ben's Upper GI shows no signs of a paraesophageal hernia. Was hoping that was the root of his feeding issues and with a pretty easy surgical fix, everything would be better. No such luck, so we are back to the drawing board. Ben is doing pretty well lately with his feeds though. Had 3 vomiting episodes in October and can't say for sure what the cause of each one was. One might have been a stomach bug because it was going around, but the symptoms of a stomach bug are exactly the same as the symptoms Ben has when he doesn't tolerate his feeds.
Now that we know the Upper GI is as normal as it can be for Ben, we have to start the supplement to help him gain weight. Dreading it though because I have a feeling Ben won't tolerate it.

Sorry to hear that the GI results didn't give much in terms of results. I hope you guys find some answers, and I hope Ben can tolerate the supplements so he can gain some more weight. Josh was the same way with his feeds, and it was so frustrating, I can't imagine your frustration right now.
Last night I read about Ben and apparently he stayed with me. He was in my dream...I was with him and Max at a daycare. Ben wanted peanut butter so of course I indulged him (he was looking quite dapper and adorable as usual!) but then I thought opps...that was a really big spoonful! So I tried to get it back out of his mouth and Ben thought that was quite silly.
It was such a weird dream...but I loved seeing Ben and "meeting" him in person!
Love you guys! Amy
Hope you all get answers soon!!! Ben also is the cutest Firefighter ever!!! Also thanks for sharing the signing time videos.
