Thomas the Train, Reflux, Torticollis, and Ear infection

That’s what we discovered at Carsten’s peditrician yesterday. We decided to take him in because he had been doing a weird breathing thing (he would hold his breath and wave his arms about). So after a scary night in Williams, AZ we got an appointment Monday morning.

The doctor noticed the torticollis right away and said it was a very mild case, but that we needed to get on top of it quickly.

After describing his symptoms she determined that he has reflux and it has been causing him pain (that is why he has been holding his breath). So he is now on Zantac to help reduce the acid production.

In addition, the reflux may have caused his stuffy nose and ear infection.

My sweet little boy is starting to feel better already. Those antibiotics work wonders!!

We had a GREAT time with Thomas. Camden was so thrilled with everything. He had so much fun riding on the train and playing with all the things they had set up. He chose not to have a picture taken with Sir Toppam Hatt or Thomas, but we did get a lot of pictures! He was sooooo happy to be at A Day Out with Thomas!
