Today Logan had 2 appointments, one with a Pulmonologist and one for his repeat hearing screening.
(His weight today was 18 lbs 14 oz!!)
We saw the Pulmonologist, because he has still be breathing a little fast, and developed a cough (it had gotten better, but had come back within the week before this appointment.) His X-rays looked great, and the Dr said he sounded fine. We are going to increase his reflux medication, and see try taking him off of it in a month, and see how he does. (I was beginning to think we needed to increase his Zantac again, since his cough had come back). We are also going to watch him closely this fall during the "viral season" and treat him with some medications if he starts breathing funny or coughing. If it gets bad, we might need to bring him in to get looked at again. But so far, so good. He is good for now, and we will just see how he does.
Then he had an appointment to get his hearing test re-done. (At around 2 months he failed in his left ear, because of fluid in his ear due to his reflux). He was awake and active for the test, so it took a little while, but he passed in both ears!! Yay!!! This was a HUGE relief!
So things are looking good. We just have to keep monitoring his reflux, and he goes back at 5 Months old for another Swallow Study to check on his aspirating. We are also going to probably follow up with a cardiologist about the issues they found on his EKG when he was in the hospital.
