Logan doesn't seem to feel good or happy

Now that all the birthday celebrations are over, it's time to focus back on the serious matter.

After the sleep apnea test, Logan's voice was so coarse. Maybe it's because he was crying so much that night that he lost his voice a little. He has been feeding well and steadily gaining weight. However, his acid reflux seems to have worsened.

Compared to when he was at the hospital and first discharged from there, he was fussier, and crying more. It was hard to figure out whether if it was the acid reflux that was causing the problem or something else. When he's eating, he would cry and arch his back. We're already sitting him up, putting him in his carseat or rocking chair. However, sometimes he doesn't like anything that we do: rocking, singing, holding, talking or laying him down. He's been averaging one vomiting episode a week. But yesterday and today, he had projectile vomiting. I am not sure if it's because it's the Synagis shot that he had yesterday that caused it, or it's the acid reflux.

Logan is almost 2 months old, yet he didn't seem to be happy enough to play or respond to us. When he's alert enough, he would look around, but we haven't seen any smiles yet. I know all these developmental milestones happen differently to different babies, but it's hard to ignore how different Logan and Aidan are.

Furthermore, I'm not as optimistic as before regarding Logan's oxygen level. I was hoping he could get rid of the oxygen cannula by this month. We haven't received the sleep apnea test results yet, but I've seen Logan's lips turning a little bluish gray the other day when he was coughing, and I had to immediately lift him up and turn up his oxygen level a little. This is definitely not a good sign.

Having the cannula in his nose, and carrying the oxygen with us wherever we go might be troublesome and annoying. But right now, figuring out his acid reflux should be a priority as it really upsets him and upsets all of us who see him suffer in pain.

I've emailed both the pediatrician and pulmonologist for advice on his vomiting and acid reflux. Let's see what they will say. And tomorrow, Logan will see the neurologist and audiologist.

These doctors appointments are just never-ending.
