I always want to pronounce The Nebulizer with Arnold Schwarzenegger's accent.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Bonnie: I know everyone is trying their best (at least hope so) so am trying to be as patient as possible. I do feel like I have to be an advocate for Ian's best though, which gets a little tiresome.<BR/><BR/>Tricia: It helps knowing others who have done this; I just feel so bad for Ian, but he keeps trying to smile all the time.<BR/><BR/>Lori: I've got two meals coming at me this week, so will be drowning in mashed potatoes and gravy, the ultimate comfort foods. And it was pretty cool meeting Hauerwas, even though I didn't have the courage to ask him some questions I had. Next time.<BR/><BR/>Leah: I hope someone out there can find a new way to get those x-rays. And Ian does have a bit of reflux, but we don't know the extent of it yet. Thanks for the heads up on the Dr. I think I heard that name somewhere. We're also checking into the aspiration scenario too.<BR/><BR/>Carole: Practice makes perfect? Let's hope so...<BR/><BR/>Anne: I would rather be welcomed to the Wonderful World of Disney, but what can you do. :)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338367408403679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24264973.post-71315657101059864022007-11-20T18:18:00.000-06:002007-11-20T18:18:00.000-06:00Duh...I just read your post again.

That is reflux. And what you see is probably only about 1/2 of what he actually refluxes, with the rest being "Silent Reflux". If they want you to see a GI specialist, I highly recommend Dr. Ferenci. He has a lot of experience with kids who have DS and reflux.Leah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24264973.post-69983422553256213792007-11-20T17:42:00.000-06:002007-11-20T17:42:00.000-06:00Welcome to the wonderful world of the nebulizer!

For those who ...Isn't that xray thing unbelievable? For those who want to know what it looks like, your child (or brand new baby) sits on a pummel, much like a bike seat. Then he is sandwiched between two pieces of plexiglass that both holds him upright AND traps his arms up over his head. It keeps his arms out of the way AND they cry (or rather scream) which makes their lungs inflate for a better xray. Lovely, huh?<BR/><BR/>So, Tom I'm wondering if anyone has said anything about Ian having reflux, and the possibility of aspiration? If not, they might want to be looking in that direction.Leah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24264973.post-22542149896335399502007-11-20T14:25:00.000-06:002007-11-20T14:25:00.000-06:00Ooooo, I'm sorry.

(Lasix?)<BR/><BR/>Hopefully this will all clear up. We did the nebuliser while G was in the hospital, but never at home. Luckily I don't think it's TOO bad. Kind of like a steam facial.<BR/><BR/>Will keep checking in on the little guy!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595026999757410223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24264973.post-5652032148129399862007-11-20T12:50:00.000-06:002007-11-20T12:50:00.000-06:00Sometimes the medical profession is right on, and ...Sometimes the medical profession is right on, and then other times it is like this situation.
