GI appt

we had a good GI appointment today. after telling kinsley's whole history and answering lots of other questions that the doctor had she said she feels like her valve muscle that closes off her stomach is just weak and so the food is able to come back up. she said most children out grow that by 15 months but some will take till 2 yrs. she doe snot think there is any internal damage done since kinsley does not cry when she throws up so she doesn't think any further testing is necessary, which is great news. i was worried about the acid causing internal throat damage that we wouldn't know about. so for now we are on an as needed basis with her, if things start getting worse or if kinsley starts getting fussier or crying when throwing up she wants us to cal her other then that we just wait till she grows out of it. there is a medicine we could use but since there is no harm happening i would rather not start meds that would be trial and error anyways to see if they worked and then when to stop them would be another trial. so we didn't think we needed to do that.

she also told us we were in the right place going to speech for the swallowing issues, so that was nice to hear.

so to sum up our little kinsley, she has slow developing muscles it seems!!! but she does seem to catch up which is good. i am alot less worried now knowing that the throwing up is happening for a reason but a mild one and it should go away. and of course no harm has been done which is great news too.
