Maddy continues to throw up feeds, even though they dropped them down in quantity. She had an x-ray today to see if there is a blockage of some kind that isn't allowing the milk to pass through. Thankfully the x-rays don't show any blockage, or break down of the bowels or intestines. However, they did show that poor Maddy's body is filled with gas and her body just doesn't know how to expel it yet. So her tummy is distended and her bowels and intestines are so swollen. The doctors put in a tube in her nose to help suck out the air from her tummy. They also said she would not be on any more feeds for a while.

She also got started on her 3rd type of acid reflux medication and got a wedge to sleep on to help with the reflux. Poor little pumpkin.
