Reflux

So, we went through this rough period where Andrew was throwing up all the time. Sometimes, he would vomit once a day or every two days, but still, it was way more than we cared for. There wasn't any rhyme or reason to his vomiting...different foods, different drinks, different times of day, etc. We couldn't put our finger on anything.

After speaking to our pediatrician, she suggested we try Prevacid to see if Andrew does have acid reflux. I am not sure if he does, but a month later, he has only thrown up four times and two of which were when he was sick so that doesn't really reflect upon the medicine. James and I aren't big on medicating Andrew, but if it ends up helping Drew, we will definitely do what it takes.

Andrew has always been good about taking medicine (even asking for more sometimes). But I didn't want him to think that he was taking medicine every day so we just call his vitamin. And he is really good about taking his vitamin in the morning (it is an ODT, or orally dissolving tablet). He just pops it in his mouth like it's candy. There have been a few times where he asks for more of his vitamin too. He's such a rugrat!

Here are some more pictures from Vegas...
