Upper GI X-Ray

Well, we had Jackson's x-ray and it went as planned.  The x-ray does show that he has intermittent reflux and that his stomach empties slower than normal which is making the reflux worse.  There really isn't a cure for this.  He is on medication to try and help the burning but the only other alternative is to go back and try formula to see if it helps.  They say he will probably grow out of it - but who knows when!?!?

Right now we are nursing and watching.  His diaper rash seems to be coming back so we are watching to see if the rash is a possible indication of an allergy.  If we can't seem to taper the rash again, we'll probably switch back to the formula and see if that helps it.  The rash cleared up when we did our first round of formula which may mean there is an allergy present.

Basically we are just watching, waiting, and hoping that we can make Jackson comfortable.  He is such a trooper and we are sure that we will find the right combination to make him the happiest baby possible.
