This morning Thaddeus saw Dr. Aaronson. I called yesterday and made the appointment because he has been crying a lot, sometimes screaming out of nowhere like he is in pain. Also, he has been throwing up which he didn't really do after the first week of his life, and a couple days ago he projectile vomited twice, once in the morning and once in the evening, losing his entire meal forcefully.
Dr. Aaronson said he thinks he might have reflux, so he prescribed medication to reduce stomach acid.
Also, he still has thrush. We didn't do a very good job giving him that Nioxin four times a day. I felt like I was poisoning him. But now Dr. Aaronson has prescribed something even more toxic to get rid of it. So I think I might give him the Nioxin again. :P I just can't stand to give him harsh medications. Who knows what they could do to him!? I might also get some acidophilus to mix with breast milk and give that to him as well. Maybe in a little dropper since he won't take a bottle. I've been taking acidophilus myself since he started vomiting. I also got something for myself called Plum Smart. Its juice. Hopefully it'll also help get Thaddeus' and my digestive tracts in better balance, which should do something for the thrush (yeast) as well.
They weighed him wearing an empty diaper and a long-sleeved onesie, and he came out to 14 lbs. 12 oz. What a big boy! I wish I knew what weight percentile that is.
He has a follow up appointment in five days, which is Wednesday.
