OK so everyone keeps asking us how Carleigh's appointment with the GI specialist went last week so I figured I would put it up here. Sorry for no pictures but we are driving in the car on the way home from seeing Uncle Mickey!
So the specialist confirmed what we have thought all along - Carleigh does have acid reflux. He said that there are a bunch more tests that we could do but he doesn't see the need at this point...she has reflux. She was on Zantac and Prilosec, so his plan was to try and increase the dose of the Prilosec and discontinue the Zantac. Well we tried that this weekend, and Uncle Mickey can tell you too...it didn't work too well! The doctor said that it may be bad enough that she may just need both meds...and we are starting to think that is the case. About 12 hours after stopping the Zantac she was acting "refluxy" again. So we started it back up again and I will call the doctor tomorrow and see what the next step should be.
He said that this usually lasts about a year and that she will probably have to be on the meds that long. But we will just play it by ear.
We will update with some pictures from this weekend soon!
