Medical Updates

Yesterday was a busy day for Justin as he had an eye appointment in the morning and then a GI appointment in the afternoon.

J's eye doctor was very happy with his progress and said that the improvement since his last appointment 6 months ago was much better. He mentioned that he may be developing a slight case of near sightedness but there's no need for glasses at this point. So he'll see him again in 6 months to continue to follow his progress.

J's GI doctor was also happy with his progress. He's gained a few lbs since his last appointment (YAY) but Carl didn't ask what his weight was (BOO). Since he's making progress the doctor wants him to continue with the Prevacid 2x daily. But Carl didn't mention to her that we started weaning him down to once a day after his last appointment since he'd been doing so well with no vomiting episodes and no gagging. Things had been going pretty well up until the last few weeks when he started having daily vomiting incidents. BUT, I really think it was a combination of him not feeling too well and the weather. It's been so hot and he gets himself so worked up and unfortunately he isn't doing too well with his juice/water intake.

So overall it was a good day with great news. He has an appointment next Friday with Dr. Hirsch so I'll make sure Carl gets his weight then.
