hi everyone.. i thought i’d let you guys know how things are going with shane.
since about 3 weeks ago.. we found out he’s had an ear infection that wont fully go away! we did the shot and oral antibiotics.. than today another shot!! we are trying to figure out his sleeping issues.. and we need to get rid of this stupid ear infection!! and today he came down with a cold on top of it all
. we did the prevacid for about 3 weeks. But as of what we know about 2 weeks of it he had his ear infection!therefore we didnt notice much difference as you would probably think on the prevacid. so we stopped it last friday.. (dont ask me why). and around monday night his sleeping got soo bad.. worse than its ever been! CONSTANT moving. so we found out today he still has an ear infection.. and we had to cancel the endoscopy.. and we put him back on prevacid. because of him being worse for some reason since he has been off.. who knows exactly why.. but i want to be sure he isnt in pain during this trial period.
soo.. here we are with no endoscopy scheduled. my ped. would like to first get us into an allergist.. with in the next week or so. and he also mentioned about me talking to the GI about upping his dosage possbily if we see no difference with the prevacid… so we can really rule it out..before he sends us for an endoscopy. oh yeah, and he knows how i would love to give the goats a try.. soo that is on the list somewhere after the allergist.. and before the endoscopy
.i am a little disappointed because i was ready to go with the endoscopy. i am not sure really what to think.. i guess it makes sense to rule out less invasive procedures first.
i just really am hoping his ear clears up soon.. and we’ll be able to see really how the prevacid works.. and what the allergist has to say.
keep us in your prayers~ i need all the prayer i can get to not let this whole thing drive me up the wall
…. hopefully the end of this is near. ~lauren
shanesmom 2007-5-9 20:33:38 Oh wow, Lauren. I’m so sorry you’re going through all this with Shane.
Poor little guy. It’s so frustrating when you wait forever for these appointments and then end up having to cancel them. I’ll definitely be praying for you. I hope you can get everything figured out soon. Hang in there!I am so sorry to hear about Shane!
Those ear infections can be sooooo pesky! I’m wanting to trial milk but can’t until Sarah feels better…so I know how you feel! I hope that everything clears up soon so you can try to get a clear picture of what is going on. Did the ped. say what would happen if his ears don’t clear up? It’s a 3 round shot, correct? What dosage of prevacid were your trialing and what was your ped. willing to increase it to? It probably does make more sense to try the less invasive things first…I just know how badly you want ANSWERS and don’t want to play the guessing game anymore.
Your family will be in my prayers.
Oh, poor Shane!
These lousy ear infections can really make life miserable for some babies. And to think he may be uncomfortable from reflux as well. I feel so bad for him and I will certainly keep him in my prayers.thanks everyone.
Amy, he is on prevacid capsules.. 22.5 mg’s.. i am not sure what he will want me to go up.. he told me to ask the GI if there is room for an increase if i dont see a difference. i told him i didnt think they would up it because after the first week of his med trial.. i told the GI nurse i didnt see a difference at all and all she told me was that i should see something by now, and that maybe the meds arent the answer.. and she didnt mention to me about upping it. My ped. didnt really say much to that. but i’ll ask for the increase anyway after the ear infection goes away. (i am sooo desperate its not even funny.) but anyhow, i dont know why my ped. wouldnt just tell me to up it..i guess he doesnt want to interfere with the part that has to do with the reflux.. who knows.
