Acid Reflux?

Well, the hospital is our favorite place to be on holidays! Graham has started having these strange episodes where he tenses up and stops breathing for a few seconds. After he eats and is laid on his back for a diaper change he will stretch out his arms to the side, become rigid, bulge his eyes, and stop breathing. He first did this on Christmas Eve while at Matt's parents' and when I called the pediatrician's nurse advice line they said to take him to the emergency room. The emergency room doctor didn't find anything and sent us home. Graham continued to have episodes and the pediatrician wanted to see him. She didn't seem concerned and put him on acid reflux medicine. She also gave us a referral to the neurologist just to be sure. We are not too worried but the episodes are scary when it happens. Hopefully the medicine will help and he will grow out of it. This little guy sure likes to keep us on our toes!

    Liz! I will keep you guys and especially little Graham in my prayers! I have another friend from church whose little girl has acid reflux...and it is treatable with medicine, I hope that's what this mystery condition is!
