Gage was allowed to go home after one night in the hospital. The surgery wasn't until the end of the month and since he wasn't on any kind of support, the doctors let him go home. While he was in the hospital though, they gave him some additional medication to help with the reflux. It seems to have made a difference although we here that it can be pretty nasty stuff in terms of side affects.
With the help of the extra meds, Gage didn't throw but only about two times in a four day period. On the down side, Kristy recently ran out of breast milk and we had to switch Gage over to formula. Gage had a very sensitive stomach from the beginning and the fortification of his breast milk with formula used to cause him extreme pain and discomfort. I remembered how miserable he used to be on formula and had been dreading the day that he'd have to go back on.
When he started formula again about a week ago, it took less than 24 hours before he started vomiting again. In my opinion, the new reflux meds he is on don't help at all given this new formula intake. Gage even gets the ultra sensitive stuff but he still vomits two to three times a day. Hopefully after the G-Tube surgery he can make more progress eating orally and we can ditch the formula soon. Surgery is scheduled for the 30th.
