Zantac has arrived

Aiden and mommy went back to the GI doctor for visit number two. It is a good thing that daddy is not a doctor because the results of the previous upper GI barium x-ray were not normal. The results showed that Aiden has acid reflux. Not exactly startling news to us or the doctor but it was confirmed.

Mommy told the doctor that Axid was NOT WORKING and she wanted Zantac. Mommy got Zantac. Aiden has not taken it yet so we don't know if it will work or not but it can't be any worse than Axid.

Aiden has another test scheduled for next week for a gastric emptying test. No x-ray, but they do a scan and track how quickly his stomach will empty after they feed him a bottle with nuclear stuff that will light up. This is because we cannot lay him down without him getting very stuffy (congested sounding in the nose) and will regurgitate his food after two hours. The doctor wants to rule out the possibility of the fluid making its way back up the esophagus and down into the lungs. That is VERY dangerous and extremely scary to be told the end result of that. So for the time being, mommy still will hold him 24/7 vertical just as we have done since birth.
