Excuse any overly sleep deprived emotional ramble.
My 4 week old daughter was admitted to hospital on Friday after I took her to OOH due to frequent and increasing projectile vomiting and distress. I (and docs) assumed bad acid reflux but they kept her in for obs. The projectile vomiting continued although she seemed a little happier on the meds for acid.
They did an ultrasound just in case and detected a thickened lower stomach valve which indicates pyloric stenosis. Initially they said this would mean an op. But now they're saying it's only just within thickened limits and it's unusual to be present in girls so want to do further investigation tomorrow.
In the meantime, my tiny baby is on nil by mouth and has spent hours and hours screaming. She has spent her whole life comforted by my breast and now she can't have it.
I'm terrified of her having an operation, I'm dreading them saying not to operate yet (as what do I do about the vomit & distress?) and I can't bear the hours of her screaming on nil by mouth whilst everyone decides what to do.
I just can't stop crying.
