Justin has finally started drinking 5 ozs per feeding and has been for about a month. So on a good day he's taking in about 25 ozs daily. He still has his moments, so more often it's closer to 20 ozs, which is still pretty good for him. But with this increase in volume came an increase in the amount he's throwing up, which is now 3-4 times a day. Before he was only throwing up periodically and right after a feeding, he never seemed affected by it and would be smiling right after. Now he's throwing up out of the blue, hours after a feeding and it appears to be painful. It's so hard seeing him arching his back, crying uncontrollably and flailing his arms.

Dr. Hirsch upped his Prevacid dosage a few weeks ago, but things are getting bad so today I asked her for a referral to GI. Unfortunately the first available appointment isn't until June 5th, but I will be calling periodically to see if there are any cancellations so we can get in sooner. Dr. Hirsch is going to speak with them on Monday to discuss starting a new medication, Reglan, but I'm a little hesitant to start something new without them seeing him and running some tests.
