Avery's GI doc appointment

Well, first we have to put her on miralax. She is hoping that will help and we
can slowly wean her off that and she will start pooping. I also have to start
taking a probiotic so that it will be in my breast milk and go to her. We also
have to start her on reflux meds again. She does spit up frequently and arches
her back while eating but the last meds didn't seem to do anything at all. Now
she will be on prevacid and it is a pill. We just break it into a few pieces
and put in her mouth. She loves eating chunky things anyways. She tries to get
our food all the time now and we give her crusts and bagels and stuff.
Ironically, she pooped a little on her own yesterday AND right after her gi
appt. She has only done this twice before! Except when she was on antibiotics.
She pooped every day of that. That is why the dr. thinks I should take
probiotics. Also, we are going to start giving her yogurt.
A b.e. is one of the last resorts, so I am relieved. Blood work also is not
necessary just yet. I feel like a weight has been lifted! It will get even
better when she starts to poop! Oh and she was 17 pounds exactly.
