On Thursday we went down to Scottish Rite for the PH Probe on Harper. They stuck a wire up her little nose and down into her esophagus. It has to stay in place for 24 hours, monitoring the acid levels. We had to log every time she cried (it was a good day and she only cried 7 hours:), threw up, was sitting or laying down, and whether she was eating or not eating. It was a lot of work, but hopefully this will tell if the Prilosec is working for the reflux or if it's something else that is causing all the crying. We should get the results Tuesday.
I hate seeing my little girl miserable. From all the crying to the wires taped to her face, this has been the hardest 2 months. We are praying that Harper gets better as she gets older and stronger or they find what is causing all the hurt and fix it.
We had to watch her constantly because she kept trying to pull it out.
Going through this problem with Harper truly makes me feel for those with bigger problems. I could not imagine watching my child suffer and not being able to do anything for long periods of time. As helpless as I feel with Harper, I know that this will be something that will go away. This too shall pass!
