Another Medicine for the Squirm
So we got the results from the pH Impedance test on Tuesday. His acidity is still too high, despite the Prevacid, so they've put him on an additional acid blocker, Zantac.
That is to say.. he gets Prevacid twice a day and Zantac thrice a day, except that the Prevacid and Zantac should be taken at least four hours apart and, oh yes, for maximum efficacy, the Zantac and Prevacid should BOTH be taken half an hour before eating.
Needless to say, our (and his) schedule just got alot more complicated!
So.. we're hoping this works. If this doesn't work, they'll have to do ANOTHER test, but I don't know it's name off hand.
Meanwhile, little boy has taken to talking very loudly. Mostly just variations of "Ayaiyaiyaiyaiyai" or "Ahyahyahyahyahyah" but it's amusing regardless (except when he's talking loudly when we're trying to watch TV. Oh wells.) He's also taken to deliberately grabbing things. He'll hold on to my finger while I feed him. Yesterday he grabbed his ring of keys, and started to move it up to his mouth. He doesn't yet have the dexterity to put the ring IN his mouth, but he's working on it!
Kinda funny to see these small milestones in action.
Anyways, that's the news, for now.
