My daughter Destiny is getting an NJ feeding tube tomorrow. In short, she has proven that her reflux is causing her apnea and bradycardia, so it's this or the nissen fundoplication surgery. This is to try to help her safely outgrow her reflux before we consider the surgery. she is 5 months real / 3 months adjusted age. She was born 2 months 6 days early due to severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome.
I pray the placement goes well and it helps. You and your daughter are in my prayers.

My son is 9 weeks old and thay put in a nj tube today due to severe reflux. so far he is still refluxing crying all the time, coughing has got worse, I am at the end of my rope. i dont know what to do to help him. He is miserable. we have been in the hospital pretty much the whole time he has been born. his reflux has caused apnea, and choking spells and many other problems. it comes thru his nose and has caused trouble with that. he is on Prevacid (zegerid AT HOMe) Zantac, mylanta, mylicon, and levison. He is taking the highest dose of it all and he is still miserable.. do u have any suggestions. I have tries researching it and i happened to find u and we seem to have similar stories with our children. the dr said he may to a endoscope, or surgery but wants to wait and see..I just feel so helpless while my poor baby is suffering
