Pyloric stenosis

[BellaRiven]

So after R throwing up 100% of his feeds for the last 4 days and dropping below his birth weight again, we ended up at the hospital and they have diagnosed pyloric stenosis, this is where the muscle at the top of the intestine won't let the food past and the only way to fix it is by operation so were off to Southampton tommorrow for this as that is where the children's surgeon is..

This is the worst possible outcome but it does mean that he gets the treatment he needs and he may start feeding properly, I quay even be able to go back to BF so I am told

It's been a heartbreaking experience having to deal with the blood tests and him having the tube down his nose.

Sorry for the post ladies I think I just need to vent because it's been so stressful

Ow hun, that's tough going there. Poor little chap. At least he has been diagnosed quickly and can be fixed with the operation xxx

Hey glad you've had diagnosis, my oh had this and mil tells me about it all the time. Operation is so easy and straight forward and Lo will put on weight quickly after. Mil continued to Bf after op x

[nikkie88]

awww no, I was reading up about this the other day, sounds dreadful and most worrying!...
Glad things will finally get sorted hun, the surgery only involves a small cutting of the muscle apparently this is enough to get it reacting and let food pass? xx Still Scary!!... xx

 

[Nic36]

Awww... Thinking of you both. Xx

 

[steffy]

Awww. Strangely enough I went to see my nan today and she was telling me about my dad when he was a baby and that he had this operation. Apparently one of the nurses said he looked better coming out of theatre than he did when he went in. Good luck xx

 

[Sarah13]

Awww sorry to hear this. At least the op will help him, be thinking of you xx
