So I was really hoping that Justin would be discharged from the GI clinic after his last appointment. Well, not so much. The Dr. was not happy with his weight gain, which really surprised me seeing as he gained 3 lbs in a year and according to Dr. Hirsch that's better than the average weight gain for a child that age. Even after we told the Dr. how well he's eating and chewing food she wants us to resume occupational therapy because she's concerned with J not being able to process his food, resulting in the poor weight gain The Dr. also wanted us to talk with the nutritionist which was a total waste of time because what she recommended we're already doing.
Anyway, similar to my decision to wean J off of the Prevacid I made the executive decision to forgo therapy because he definitely doesn't need it. I still wanted confirmation of my decision though, so after the appointment I immediately called Dr. Hirsch and she 100% agreed with me. I love her! Not only because she agreed with me, lol, but because she tells it like it is. She sees the big picture, where the GI Dr. seems to be looking at where a 3 year old should be and not taking into consideration his history.
