First of all I love this outfit. Dressing Addilyn for fall is my new favorite part of our morning. Shallow yes, but seriously isn't her outfit the cutest?
Addilyn passed out again on Tuesday after she fell. It wasn't as bad as when it happened on her birthday, as she came out of it quicker, but I was alone and it was incredibly scary. I surprisingly handled it okay that day. I was babysitting and so I felt like I had to pull myself together and move on. But later that night and the next day, I started getting teary and anxious when I thought about it. We took her to the doctor and he thinks she is holding her breath when she falls. While I'm relieved that he doesn't think she's have a seizure or that there is anything life threatening happening, I'm still anxious about it happening again. For awhile after she fell two months ago my heart would start beating super fast and I'd get really nervous when she would get hurt and cry. I finally was over that and now I'm here again. The doctor said that this could also happen if she cries really hard and gets worked up. We're currently trying to get her to stay in the nursery at church, but she cries so much I am now scared about her doing that there. I feel torn about how to handle that situation.
We've had Addilyn on acid reflux medicine for the last few weeks. We've finally gotten her to take it and have noticed a difference in the amount of food she will eat. When we were at the doctors last week we weighed her and she's gained a half pound, which is more than she gained in almost three months. I feel really frustrated that our doctor didn't suggest acid reflux at all. I was the one that brought it up. I'm mad that she made us go through scary and expensive testing. I feel like Addilyn has probably had acid reflux since she was a baby and I'm frustrating I didn't figure it out, but more mad our doctor didn't, as I feel like I've always been telling her Addilyn's symptoms. She is still coughing some at night though, so I'm not sure if those are related and am wanting to get that figured out too.
Any of you moms have there have experience with your kids passing out or with acid reflux at this age? Did you kids cough a lot when lying down? I'd be appreciative for any stories with experience!
