Vomiting

With all the different feeding attempts Raphael has begun vomiting. And when he vomits he expels everything. Usually in four or five hoiks he is swimming in a small puddle of everything that we had managed to feed him over the last hour.


This was actually previously diagnosed with a barium swallow as "significant gastro-oesophageal reflux" but this is where we really started to notice the consequences of it.

We have not had any problems with the NGT (apart from it being pulled our or expelled from time-to-time) so I doubt that we would be keen on having an operation to have a belly tube implanted.
