Brody in his infinite wisdom was starting to grow and be a happy little fellow. All that ended on June 14th. Poor baby.... he was starting to have nice amounts of spit up. No big deal... can handle that. Well on Monday June 18th we get little Brody circumsized. The next morning our air conditioner goes out. We stay with Granny and Papa for the evening until Wednesday. Thanks guys you are awesome oh yeah to Mom aka Dodie for caring for Bro so we could rest. Brody's spit up got worse, lets just say that he was going though clothes faster than baseball players go through balls during a game, not normal!!! So we take Brody to the doctor Tuesday evening. Doc says that it is probably acid reflux. Well by Friday Jess and I are concerned about the little Brody. I can say that Brody was projectile vomit champion and I was his target. Friday Jess calls the Pediatrician and tells him she feels that after seeing the obvious that Brody has what is called Pyloric Stenosis. She was right!!! Saturday morning we are admitted to the hospital for this. Brody gets an Ultrasound that confirms this and he has surgery Saturday evening. After a short stay till Monday evening, our little boy is back to being himself. Wheww!!!! That was alot of stuff.
