Our visit with the GI doctor...

Well we just got home from the GI doctor and I am feeling optimistic about our new course of action. Dr. Argao has increased the Axid to 1.2 ml 2 x day and added Bethanechol 4 x day. The Axid is to relieve the burning and the Bethanechol is to stop the reflux from coming back up. If we do not see a marked improvement on this combination by Monday I am supposed to call Dr. A back and we are discontinuing the Axid and going to Prevacid. If Prevacid and Bethanechol together don't work then we will start thickening Kolten's feedings. I am really encouraged by the doctor and he thinks that this first combination should show a marked improvement in both his feeding habits and sleep habits. Let's all pray that we get this under control soon so everyone in our house can get some sleep.
