endless GERD

Sometimes after hours of listening to Jules cough and rushing to snatch him up and hold him upright so he doesn't vomit, Scott and I get really grouchy.
Tonight was a LONG night of coughing, spit-ups, gagging, and reflux hell.
We just handed him over to our night nurse and are so grateful to be going to bed.
What are we going to do in July with no night nurses?
I shudder to think about it. He has been coughing over and over and over and over again and the doctors won't increase his antacid medication. It is hard to see him suffer and we are EXHAUSTED tonight.
So, we are going to sleep. My friend tylenol PM will hopefully help me sleep deep enough to not hear all that coughing in the next room.

Poor Jules and poor you two! I hope the endless GERD will end soon -- ideally before the end of night nurses.

Ugh. Is there some way for him to sleep upright?
