Had follow up visit at MGH today.

Plan: 1) continue on Nexium and watch for more improvement over next few weeks, 2) start zyrtec 5mg. a day (crush pill into powder and mix into drink), 3) scheduling patch test for food and environmental allergies (he had one 1 year ago for food only), 4) scope in August. If scope is clear and vomiting stops will start reintroducing foods again by Sept.  Again I have to say I'm very pleased with making the switch from Children's to MGH!!! We talked with other parents there today doing the same thing! These doctors really listen to what we say and do not want to rush anything! The GI doctor put his hands on Sam's face before leaving and said "love you"!   oh and Nutritioniist wants us to stop smarties and dum-dums. She's worried about his teeth from the acid, vomiting and sugar and hardly lets us brush his teeth! I've been worrying about this too and am going to make an appt. with a dentist soon who see special needs kids. We're also making an appt. with the Child Psycologist to talk without Sam and then with him there at a 2nd appt.  Feeling a bit better tonight about everything!
