Another Noah Update

Here's the latest on Noah.

We saw his Doctor this past Wednesday. He hasn't had an episode in 4 weeks - since we started the Zantac and this is the longest we have gone. Plus he has gained 2 pounds in the last 4 weeks. All very good news.

Since we've ruled out all of the really scary life threatening stuff with the blood work and MRI, we have decided to be less aggressive at this point and wait on doing anymore invasive procedures. We're not exactly sure, but he may just have a stomach acid problem and the Zantac is doing the trick.

He is due for his 4 yr old well child check up in 3 months - so we are going to observe him until then. I'm going to try and figure out if there is a common trigger that sets things off, or if there is a pattern of events. At that point if he is still having trouble, or if things get bad again before then, we will be referred to a Pediatric GI specialist.

So, it is still a waiting game and a bit of a guessing game, but we are very happy with the results so far.
