So after months of begging we finally got in to see a ped GI specialist on Friday. The Dr was awesome, he played with J, seemed to listen and talked to me so I could understand. I didn't get that "you're wasting my and everyones time" feeling. I just wish I didn't get that bottled up nervous feeling when we're there. It's just trying to watch to make sure no one is getting into trouble (wink wink boys) and really have a conversation with the dr is hard. Anyway, he's where we're at. Seems like the infant reflux is GERD so he won't really grow out of it. Of course it's easily managed especially when he's older and we can really hit on his symptoms. For now we are on Prevacid Solutabs 15mg one (holy cow, what will i do with all my free time) time a day. He recommended stopping the Reglan immediately but to use the Zantac as a back up until the Prevacid really kicks in. We talked quite a bit about how hard of a time Willie is having with solids. And this seems to be a misunderstood problem to a lot of people we talk to. It's not that Willie isn't interested in solids or that he's just bored with it or doesn't like it or whatever. It's that he has a hard time swallowing the food all the way down. It seems like he really has to work for it and sometimes it doesn't happen. period. this is a bummer for me to see because he IS very interested in solids. he's trying to eat, he's munching at everything it's just that he can't seem to get things down. It stinks.
We go back in 3 weeks, November 6th, for a follow up. At that point if he's better we'll give it some more time. If he is the same or worse we'll start a little more testing. His first test would be a modified swallow study. I haven't done near enough research on this yet to really make any good thoughts on it.
Uh oh. Somebody is stirrin' again. I better run, i will be back to finish later or tomorrow.
By the way, Willie took baby steps today!!!!!!!!!!!!1
