Update

Well, things are the same here pretty much. Courtney had an appointment yesterday with her specialist about her reflux and allergy. We decided to keep her on her same formula for now. Maybe after next visit we will try another formula that isn’t so expensive and easier to get.

He also put her on a new drug, reglan. It’s supposed to help the flap in the tummy tighten, so she doesn’t reflux, as well as empty the tummy out faster so there isn’t stuff to reflux. Today is day 1 of the meds and so far, I don’t like it at all. She is spitting up less, however, it makes her very drowsy. So, I have a call into her pediatrician to ask her what she thinks. I think no matter what, I am going to decrease the amount she is getting.

I was a little upset by Wednesday’s visit to the GI doc. I went in thinking, wow, I really feel like I have Courtney’s reflux pretty well managed. But the doctor seems very concerned about her health and well being and I left feeling miserable. So, I am anxiously awaiting my pediatrician to come back into the office tomorrow. I all ready have a message waiting for her. The GI doc not only put her on reglan but also wants her prevacid increased as well as her calories, by giving her some oil. I just don’t know about all that!

Other than that, things are the same here. Hubby was gone again this week, returning tomorrow night. My mom stayed with me last night and tonight.

Bristol had an unexpected overnight stay at the vet’s on Tuesday. He had been throwing up every night for several nights. They took him, x-rayed him, and saw that his bowels were full of gas, and irritated. So, they kept him on pepcid and IV fluids overnight. I picked him up the next morning, after they re-x-rayed him. They didn’t see any blockage and the next morning he was still all gassy and irritated. So, he has been on medication and a bland diet here at home.

Well, the little girl is going to sleep and so I want to also!
