2 Week Appointment

Here are Spencer's 2 week stats:
Height: 20.5 inches (45%)
Weight: 7 lbs 3 oz (20%)
Head circumference: 34.5 cm (10%)

His 2 week appointment was quite eventful. He got circumcised and got his 2nd PKU drawn. The doctor also thought he looked yellow so he got his bili level redrawn and it was 10.1. He has a nice little umbilical hernia as well, but the dr said it will resolve on its own. We also got to make a surprise visit to Primary Children's. What happened is this: the doctor asked if I had any questions and I just mentioned the fact that he had been throwing up everything since last night. I was just mentioning it, but I was more worried about him getting dehydrated so I also said he was still peeing and pooping normally. He had been not so pukey during the night, but he had only been eating for 5 minutes at a time. Dr Rose asked if it was normal for him to throw up that much and I said no. So Dr Rose said he wanted us to go down to Primary's to get an ultrasound of his pylorus (the end part of his stomach). He said he would leave him over the weekend, but he didn't dare. I personally didn't think he had pyloric stenosis (a condition where the opening at the end of the stomach is too narrow or gets too muscular to let much food through, if any) because he wasn't projectile vomiting (a pretty big indicator). But who am I to question the doctor? So off we went to get him checked. I didn't really want to go alone so I called to see if Jacob would go with me. We picked him up on our way down there. We had quite the time navigating through downtown Salt Lake because of all the construction, and the fact that you can't turn left on half the streets. We got there and they ultrasounded his tummy and found that everything was normal. He quite enjoyed the sugar water though. Dr Rose then called me and told me that he was going to put him on some Zantac (a heartburn/acid reflux medication) to see if that helped. So now we give him liquid Zantac twice a day. He still pukes a lot but hopefully the medication is working.
