We went to TX. Children's on Tuesday to take Sophie to see a new GI Dr., since we were thoroughly unhappy with her last GI Dr. The new Dr. was very thorough and had MANY ideas for Sophie. So, we have options to take 3 new meds, if that doesn't work then she'll run a few different tests to see where the actual problem is and what it is, then if all else fails there is surgery. She encouraged us that Sophie still has a while to grow out of her acid reflux, and then proceeded to put her on a new medication and up her dosage of prevacid, her current medication. She's only been on the new med. for 2 days, but she's been doing wonderfully and having no spit ups at all! So, keep your fingers crossed that this med. keeps working, the Dr. said that it shouldn't take long to start working...if it's going to work. We're only giving it 2 weeks, then we're supposed to call the Dr. to change the med. if it's not working. All that we've been through since Sophie's birth has been wild, but I am so thankful that we have TX. Children's to take her to!
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and send up a little prayer that the next baby doesn't have acid reflux!! Meanwhile, a few new pictures.
Her newest thing to do is lift up her shirt and point to her belly button....and everyone else's unfortunately!

I'm so glad you guys are happy with your new GI. Sometimes being comfortable with the doctors is half the battle.
