Acid reflux
We visited the GI doctor today and he thinks Grant has a pretty clear cut case of acid reflux. He also believes the reason it has gotten so bad is that the NG tube is irritating him and making the whole thing pretty darn painful. He prescribed zantac and said it should start working anywhere from 48 hours to 2 weeks. In His mercy God seems to be speeding up the process and Grant has improved after just one dose. After his first dose he drank half his bottle! He is not quite his normal self yet, but is calmer than he's been all week. We have the heart cath at 9am tomorrow and they said it should take 2 hours. We'll update you then.

It could also be from his formula -- Allegra had GERD and it took a long time to find a formula that she was okay with. She hated everything but breast milk. Eventually we found something that she could tolerate, but she was on Zantac for a while. It tastes nasty. There are a lot of websites out there for parents of GERD babies. Love, Er
Hello guys, Kelly and I are fasting and praying today. We pray God leads the physicians today as Grant has his cath.!! Love in Christ- Crystal
I am so glad they found out he has acid reflux. It's so hard not knowing what is wrong with our children. One of my children had it and we were glad they could treat it. Blessings to Grant today and blessings on the doctors.
