We know about reflux around our house and it is awful when doctor's don't listen to moms. It took me four months to get my doctor to listen with Keelia.

I wouldn't wish surgery on your baby, but maybe the doctor is hoping he will grow out of it before it becomes necessary.

I'd like to punch their lights out sometimes. I feel really good about your decision and I can't wait to see what happens with our little Josh. The pictures of the boys are so cute. I miss my Sam soooo much! And I can't wait to hold them both in my arms in June!

Addison throws up all the time but it isn't acidic at all but her Dr felt it was best to still give her Prevacid once a day because he said just in case there is any acid in it, it could cause permanent damage he also told me there are no side effects. I really trust Addison's pediatrician because he has told me a few times being in there that he could do other things for her but he wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing what he gave her could cause side effects or other problems down the line! Way to be persistent and change doctors Mom's know best!! I also agree with you on immunizations but it was different for Addi, we are doing them as scheduled because of her being so fragile already and also because so many people aren't vaccinating there children until older so these older kids are passing germs to other little ones that are helpless. Just yesterday a newborn died here in East Idaho from Whopping cough that was given to her by a teenager that hadn't been vaccinated! I appreciate you doing your research and being such a great mom!!! I MISS YOU! Long post I know! I should probably just call you and talk to you huhSteve, Jillian, Addison, and Jacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739292530426470462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632571198447504695.post-17314314363522410412009-04-16T10:22:00.000-07:002009-04-16T10:22:00.000-07:00Why is it so hard to find good doctors?

I hope you like your new doctor and I hope Josh's reflux gets taken care of!

I ended up waiting 3 months before getting Eva on Medicine for her acid reflux. I waited 2 months because I wasn't sure what it was and every one just said that she was sensitive to what I was eating since I was nursing her, and because everyone even the doctor said it was colic. Then at about 2 1/2 months she started vomiting even more than normal and then it turned into projectile vomit. The doctor had me wait until her 4 month appointment and finally he gave her a generic prescription because it was the cheaper route - it didn't work. So at about 4 1/2 months we got her started on prevacid and it is wonderful. BE PERSISTANT. I love how you already are - you are the Mom and you know best. I wish I would have been a little more persistant like you are being! Good luck and let me know what happens!Chris and Molly Wambekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048160021337155850noreply@blogger.com
