GI in Albuquerque

Last week we had a follow up appointment in Albuquerque with the pediatric GI specialist.  He said that her test results looked good (she had a scope and biopsy a couple of weeks ago).  The tissue looked good but he did see a bit of inflammation.  She is on a different reflux medicine (Previcid) and he changed her to Neocate formula.  If you are on Facebook you saw my post about the wonderful gift we received from the doctor.  About 30 cans of free formula; praise God because that stuff is expensive!!!  She gained 1/2 a pound in a week - huge deal for us.  We will watch her for about 4 months or so and see how she does with weight gain and spit up.  If she is still having trouble he will run a probe down her nose into her stomach for 24 hours.  It will record how often she refluxes, how high it goes and the acid content.  From there we will decide what needs to be done.  Prayers please that the medicine and new formula are enough and that she will continue to get stronger and develop those muscles so she won't have to have any procedures done.  She sure has been happy since we changed her formula so that is very exciting.  Thank you for your love and support!
