We contacted Alexander's doctor today to put him back on his Prevacid. It was with a heavy heart I made the call. I don't think any parent wants to have their child on meds long term. We really tried everything we could to keep him off, but we have seen a steady increase in his reflux and decline in his sleep (which affects many aspects of his health and well being). Since we can see where he's headed, we decided to put him back on before he is at a crisis point. Now we wait for the insurance to approve it. Our doctor has been relatively confident that it will go through okay. We now wait and see.
Other than his intense gas pains, Alex's lower GI system has otherwise settled a little bit. He is loving his books, puzzles, blocks and magnadoodle. We are excitedly preparing for the holidays and hoping that Alexander will be feeling well by then.
