I Have HAD IT!

I honestly don’t know how much more I can take of this! April 26th, my boys went to the Ped GI and he upped both meds for both boys. He told me, which I asked specifically, not to cut the prevacid solutabs in half and once dissolved to throw the rest of the solution away (it even says that in the directions). I verified this with him several times because he doesn’t speak english very well and I wanted to make absolutely sure I was understanding him. So I have been dissolving one pill, per child, twice a day as directed, knowing that logan is getting more of the “granules” from the solution than directed. However, he has been doing GREAT! I have been doing that since the appointment. Had to get refills for both boys already since they are using two tablets per child per day instead of one. Well the insurance co will pay for two tabs for dakota but only one for logan. So I called the Doc office to have them get it pre-authorized and fought with his nurse. She tells me to split the pill. I tell her THE DOCTOR told me not to do that. So she has him call me. He tells me that since we have no other choice I have to split the pill. No my BIG problem is that Logan is used to getting probably close to 15mg per dose since even though he only gets 2.5ml’s of the 5ml’s he is still getting almost all the granules. I know have to cut him back with a split pill giving him 7.5 dissolved in 5ml’s and give only 2.5ml’s of that so he is cutting his meds. He is doing well on the way it is administered now, (how he originally told me how to do it) and I am afraid that the reflux will end up getting worse again with this new way! I know I am rambling I am just SO frustrated!
