They are saying possibly this, possibly that but no real answers. Like what happened to her yesterday one doc said it was reflux another said it could have been some sort of fit.

Tell her I'm thinking about her and her DD and wish there was something I could do.

Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of this soon and wee chloe starts to get better.

I posted on one of her previous threads, my ds had silent reflux and aspirated milk into his lungs which gave him pneumonia and stopped him from breathing properly. He was in SCBU at the time as he was premature so thankfully we never had to worry about him stopping breathing at home. He was attached to an oxygen saturation monitor and on oxygen (nasal prongs) for about a month, also had several courses of antibiotics and chest x-rays. I don't know if this is what is wrong with her dd? Poor Trace, it must be horrible not knowing what is wrong (we had a bit of this before they diagnosed reflux), thinking of her and hope her dd is home soon.

Poor Trace and Chloe, just when things were starting to look up a bit. Thinking of you Trace, take care.

wannaBe · 26/07/2007 14:18

oh no.

If I remember rightly something was picked up on her 20 wk scan that she didn't have two umbilical (sp?) arteries or vains (can't remember which) but that they said this could lead to problems with heart/lungs? How much further have they explored this possibility?

love to you all and you have my email if you need it?

They were told the cord thing could cause a number of probs but they wouldn't know til she was born. She's had loads of different tests since she's been born and each time she's been back in, inc blood tests, urine tests, chest xray

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 26/07/2007 16:37

Phoenix - sorry to hear this. I posted on Trace's other thread. I hope the docs have persued the heart tests. She sounded so similar to my dd at that age apart from mine's lack of weight gain.

She could be aspirating into her lungs due to her reflux as fearscape says.

trace2 · 26/07/2007 21:37

thank you jo for asking for me chloe still in hospital, having a brain scan tomorrow as i can only discribe her vepisode as like a stroke, her eyes went up her head and her body strewed up sideways, she didnt know us. they think her brain was staffed of oxijen( sorry about spelling, ) but she seems more her self now but she had another attack at 5 am, but not as bad.

they still think its silent reflux but very worse case where its a danger to her, they tried to get her in for a ph today but no slots, so they put her on meds domperidone and ranitidine but also found lucasites in her wee again where she is already on anitiotics for kindery reflux.

thank you for your good wishers there are helping us am sure, ill let you all know how we go again thank you

Hoping for better news for you.

{{{{Hugs}}}}} trace, have sent this thread to some medical friends of mine, see if they can't point you in the direction of some specialist help.
