Yesterday started off OK. Alex had an appointment at the eye hospital. (She had laser eye surgery for ROP)
They checked her eyes and where the doc had done the surgery and all seems fine. They mentioned her being a big long sighted but apparantly that can be deemed as normal just now.
The experience was stressful,we couldnt get parked anywhere near the hospital.
Alex was getting hungry and tired, so started kicking off. Her sudocrem lid managed to come off in my change bag so you can only imagine the disaster there!
Finally it was over and they dont need to see her for another year. I thought that was the stressful part of the day over.
We got home and she was sick. It was reflux, again. Now shes 11 months old, FFS surely the reflux would die off by now. Shes on 3 meals a day and 4 bottles!
Alex spent the rest of the day spitting up and CHUCKING up everywhere. Our carpets are well and truely fucked.
We decided to start giving her meds again, but she threw up. And it was like something got stuck, because she couldnt breathe and i could her little body was struggling. She was throwing herself around in sheer panic and I was trying everything. I threw her over my shoulder and that seemed to do the trick.
We had a week or so off the reflux, we thought we managed to get rid of it. But now its back so bad
We are going to the hospital today for help as weknow no GP will prescribe her anything stronger than she already has (a hosp has to do it)
Its so so hard. I cant bear to be trapped in the house again. I cant do anything! I was even gonna visit our Katy in the hospital but all this time ALex has had the reflux and I cant do bugger all. The summer is dropping by and I so wont be out if I cant get some help!

Hun, I don't have a preemie but I do have a LO with reflux and I know how hard it is. I hope the hospital can sort something out for you
