GI appointment

We went to the GI doctor today for Zac's reflux issues and we have hopefully found the answer. He has gone through 3 different medications that have all been duds. He is now on 1 1/2 prevacid in the A.M. along with meds that will make it easier for him to have a BM (non habit forming). I'm also now putting 6 tbs. of cereal in his 6 oz bottle (the consistency that most babies are spoon fed). The doctor also said that due to babies high metabolic rate that we may need to give him a dose of meds (most likely Axid) in the afternoon so it will carry him through the night (another reason he's been so fussy at night). Hopefully this will do the trick for him because I'm so tired of seeing him in pain and I know he's even more tired of being that way. Pray that this will work for us!
