Re: Any ideas on breathing issue?

Amy,

I would definitely make sure you have his bicarbs checked. The rapid

breathing and vomiting are both what we saw from Langan when hers

were critically low. It is very treatable but dangerous if left

untreated AND can cause increased seizures. Maybe this is the

missing part of the puzzle for you guys with the returning seizures???

Amy,

I hope this finds your family, especially your son, doing well. I wonder if the

rapid chest movement is an indication that he was (is) acidotic. I know this was

a problem we continue to face. Let us know what you find out.

Any ideas on breathing issue?

Hi!

Last night after his 10:00p.m. tube feed, Jake had a wretching spell

where he really seemed like he was going to vomit. He has a nissen

so this is nearly impossible, but he heaved and cried. He hasn't

done that in weeks after eating. I was worried when we started the

diet he was doing it a lot and I was hoping it wasn't metabolic.

Anyway, after the choking episode last night I noticed he was

breathing more rapidly and more shallow than I like. I stayed up all

night last night worried sick. He is at the doctor with my husband

right now, but I thought I would run it by you all and see if you had

any thoughts. He is getting all his bloodwork and urinalysis done

tomorrow so we will probably get an idea of whether bi-carbs or

kidney stones or infection could be the culprit.

Hope everyone is well. Hugs to all the kids!
