Today was a little up and down for Bridger. His lungs look okay, but his acid reflux is back full force and with no food going into his stomach the acid burns his esophagus that much more. He has been on a couple of reflux medications from when we were at home, so now they have added one more to see if it will help. He is now 5.79 kg which is roughly 12lb 12oz, I feel like he has grown so much! They are continuing to wean his sedation and have been weaning his oxygen, but today they had to turn the oxygen back up because he was so uncomfortable from the reflux. This evening his feeding tube came out so they had to replace that as well which made him very angry. So right now he just finished his respiratory treatment and he has fallen asleep. Hopefully we will have a quiet night.

If it's not one thing with that little boy, then it's another. That little bugger! :) Just kidding. I know that when Tre had reflux he was uncomfortable too. Not quite the same situation as Bridge but I remember those days. He gained no weight for 6 months. Even now that he is over it he still can't eat certain high acidic or spicy foods. You know, I don't think the meds he was on as a baby did much...I think he just out-grew it. Anyway, he'll get over it and at least he is growing! I'm sorry I haven't been by. Our family was sick and I'm now working every night of the week. When we get over this then I'll have to come see you on a weekend soon. Keep strong Bridg (and Stac) we love you.
Dear Staci and Danny,
Wow!! We really are seeing some improvement even though there are little setbacks. All in all, I think he is improving. Wonderful on the weight gain. He is so cute. Keep up the good work!!
Love, grandma
