The Ever Growing, Throwing Up Girl

We took Macayla to a nutrition visit yesterday. For the past few days, Macayla has had increased reflux and hiccups. Saturday, there even seemed to be an extra number of noticeable seizures and I wondered if that was making her reflux more. Sometimes seizures can cause the muscles in her torso to spasm and push up on her stomach. Yesterday before we left, she kept acting like she may have reflux and started to gag. I would suction her, but nothing would come out. It was as if she was gagging on something imaginary. On the way to the nutritionist, Macayla threw up in the van. She did not have a seizure as far as we can tell.

We continued on to the visit and even made it on time! She weighs 82 lbs and is 57 inches long! She has not stopped growing. Fortunately, her height has grown faster than her weight so her BMI is good and headed in the right direction. But my back wouldn't mind if we were dealing with smaller numbers all around! Now we hope and pray the reflux quits.
