Hiccups

[Guest guest]

We have had several explanations for the hiccups. One has to do with

delayed gastric emptying. The food sits there for too long and gas

builds up. Another has to do with the hiatal hernia Max had corrected

with the triple procedure. And the other has to do with the lack of

coordination of the muscles in the digestive tract.

I am hoping it is none of the above and it resolves itself. I hate to

think that things could be going haywire again with Max's GI system.

He is doing so well. We don't need any setbacks now.

Jodi - I think you are both strong. He did get it from someone you

know.

You know - those hiccups are the worst. I always sound like a

belching frog when its my turn. Glad they only lasted 15 minutes

though. Hopefully, the medicine he got from his internist will help

if they erupt again.
