GI Appointment

Not much to report; this appointment was very uneventful and almost a waste of time. We did a lot of waiting just to be told that there's not much more the Dr. can do at this point. J's gaining weight, although at the very bottom of the growth chart, he is following his own curve; his stools are normal and regular; and his reflux, for the most part, is pretty controlled with medicine and usually only rears its ugly head when he's sick. He rarely throws up just out of the blue, but nonetheless he'll continue to get Prevacid once a day.

One good thing is that we were given the OK to make the complete switch from Pediasure to Carnation Instant Breakfast. Other than that the nutritionist said to just continue on with what we're doing.

So, we go back in 4 months for a follow up. I wonder if that point we can start weaning him completely from the Prevacid, transition to whole milk and get discharged. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
