The Atticus Chronicles

Howdy Folks! After waiting very patiently for my husband to set up a web page for my son for almost a year I figured it was high time that I took matters into my own hands. Introducing our Family Blog! I hope to get on here fairly regularly to let you all know about the adventures of our family and to post the latest pic's of Atticus. Stay tuned ...

Silent Reflux

After a combination of the week from hell and doing a bit of my own detective work, Justin and I have come to the conclusion that Atticus probably suffers from silent reflux (a condition where the baby throws up into their mouth and then swallows the vomit burning their throat and tummy in the process). It's called silent because we don't actually see any vomiting I guess? This explains why Atti has all of a sudden become very angry too as it would have taken months for his throat to be burnt to the point where it would be causing him discomfort.

Anyway, we took Atti to our GP this morning who agreed that it looked likely that Atti had reflux and we've been referred to a specialist in Lilydale (and thankfully have managed to secure an appointment for tomorrow morning due to a cancellation).

Hopefully he'll be lovely and has all the answers (well here's hoping anyway).
