He didn't wake up coughing at all last night! He actually made it to 3 am before waking up, so that was great. He's napping more than usual during the day and I can't decide if it's because he needs more sleep to heal or if he is finally comfortable enough to nap longer. I have him totally off of breast milk and he's doing better than ever, so I wonder if there was just enough dairy in there to flare up his reflux. The milk bank will be getting a giant donation this weekend. I'm a little sad to close that chapter, but am looking forward to getting my freezer space back!
He is starting to really take off walking - no longer does he need coaxing from us, he just takes off from the furniture. Of course that means a lot more crashes, he got his head good on the wood part of the ottoman today.
The antibiotic is doing a number on his system. We have him on probiotics, not sure how much good it's doing. He's still not eating much and is not in love with the formula I bought. We go back on the 25th for his 12 mo vaccines (thank goodness we delayed them!) and a naked weigh in so hopefully by then he's at least gained back the weight he lost over the last couple weeks.

Reflux, Eczema, Puking....Oh My!
My poor Sam!
Sunday night he threw up all the food he'd eaten at dinner and the afternoon before. When he got to day care today he refused food and drink and then threw up the bottle he'd had at 6:30 am (6 hrs later). Chad took him to the Dr who was basically worthless and gave him a bottle of pedialyte and told him if he kept it down he could have milk then food.
He kept it down, he had milk and food and at 10:15 tonight it ALL came back up over the couch, ottoman and floor. ALL six ounces of milk came up following one measly cough.
Oh, and the rash that I thought was just dry skin that he's had for a couple months is eczema.
So, I'm starting to think he has a food allergy. He is fine otherwise, no fever, his stomach is just revolting. You can hear it start to gurgle and then everything comes up. I have an email in to his ped to see what he thinks. He's close enough to a year that I asked is we could try him on soy milk and eliminate dairy and see if it helps.
I just feel so bad for my little man...his tummy must be hurting a lot.
