He does have severe reflux, which we pretty much already knew, but his heart is perfect. He did, amazingly, have 2 blue spells while with the cardiologist, and he was very "impressed" with it. He checked his o2 sats and they were around 89/90 while having a spell, which is low. He has some theories and suggested more testing. He thinks he may have a partial collapsed lung due to respiratory issues, therefore his red and blue blood is mixing. Or he could be aspirating into his lungs. Hope to find out soon. Keep fingers crossed! -------------------- Jyll and Zachary Joseph born 7/12/02 edd 9/5/02

I'll say an extra prayer. You sure do have a trooper there-- that's one special little guy! As for the reflux, I've been there and it's no fun, but good thing is that they usually outgrow it! Give Zachary a hug for me! -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Me too, Me too!! Group: Members Posts: 2,795 Member No.: 26 Joined: 28-February 03	Dear Jyll and Zachary: So glad to hear that Zachary's heart is fine!! Also, no matter how strange this seems, that he had those spells while you were there so that the doctor could see what you were talking about, and maybe help lead him to resolving those issues! We'll be thinking about you and sending you some good vibes......take care and let us know when you know anymore... <<HUGS>> to both of you! -------------------- Beverly, DH Eje, and mom to PJ, 20 Leah, 18 Sara, 16 Anders, 5 and Emily, almost 2 "A mother holds her children's hands for just a little while, but she holds their hearts forever."

As for him having thoes spells while there, its actually good, now they know what you are talking about and can hopefully help him. I hate when doc's or heck even auto mech look at you funny when you try to explain the problem and they dont see or hear it them selves they tend to think you might be a little crazy! I hope all is well with him and I will keep him in my thoughts. -------------------- Di ~ mommy to Kaitlin wife to David

I myself have the adult problem with it occasionally and Ashley had it too. What did your doc prescribe for Zachary? Ours prescribed Zantac liquid form. It seemed to help but it is nasty tasting... I tried it and knew why Ashley kept spitting it out

Todzilla!!! Group: Members Posts: 1,397 Member No.: 82 Joined: 3-April 03	So glad his heart is OK!! 89-90 is a little low for normal (usually 97-100) but not really that low--before Iain's surgery I'd be jumping with joy to see sats that HIGH. (usually 70s) It definitely could be aspiration--a friend who has a heart baby also w/severe reflux always had spells when he aspirated gunk into his lungs and choked. Hope it gets resolved soon!!!
