Thanks Lizzie. I do think you are right to a certain degree. We had one week where F was more independent and happy to sit by himself. It was the second week after starting prevacid. So I know the meds made a big difference. But it only lasted one week.
Then he was back to needing to be entertained. I have a hard time wrapping my head around why he was fine for only ONE week. Sure he couldn't be outgrowing his dosage that fast.
Anyways, I've suspected for a bit now that he could use a higher dose but as you remember from the BCs I am having a hard time getting any doctors to agree with me. We have a paed appointment in 3wks. Until then there's no point even thinking about it. TBH, I have a feeling she won't even be willing to up the dose.
That said, I do think he's doing well on the meds he is on at the moment. He is crabby but not necessarily unhappy, if that makes sense? Just this morning I had him in his chair and he was fussing up a storm. I walk over to him and start talking, right in his face, and he is thrilled. All smiles and talking back. I think he just enjoys human interaction over anything else in the world. It's tiring for me though, can only do paddy cake so many times!
Clare, when did E grow out of her reflux?
