Two Mornings bigtime...
Missed a day of updates here due to the fact that we were up before dawn to get in there to feed her at 8:00 AM. One reason is to keep her guessing on which bottle will be her parents bottle and two to change things up a bit.
But it has taken its toll. Our norm of having only the mornings to do anything switched from having no time to do anything. It really affects your day.
Anyway, we are taking 3 out of 4 bottles now. She is doing much better now that we started Prevacid yesterday.
We were on Zantac...
which is a Histamine H2-receptor antagonists (H2-Blockers)
What they do: Reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces
How they work: The chemical histamine causes certain cells of the stomach to produce acid by attaching to places on the cells called H2 receptor sites. H2-receptor antagonists attach to the H2 receptors and block the histamine from attaching to the receptors. This inhibits the productions of acid.
Side Affects: headache, dizziness, gynecomastia, malaise
Now we are on Prevacid....
which is a Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
What they do: Reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces
How they work: The cells of the stomach contain pumps that produce acid to aid in digestion. PPIs inhibit the production of acid from these pumps, reducing the amount of acid in the stomach.
Side Affects: Reported to be uncommon but can include allergic reaction, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea.
We are also having a stool issue at this time after being on the med for two days. She will probably get over this today.
A small heat rash on her, but it will probably go away if we keep blankets off her. She is hot natured. Rare for a small girl but her metabolism is awesome, as you can tell by her SLOW weight gain.
The bottle is the next step. The doctors are leaning toward having her come home when she takes all her bottle feeds. Oxygen or no oxygen. I vote for no oxygen, but let's just take any step that we can right now. As maturity goes......it will all be incredible.
Check out the new movies, I am sorry for not having them work, they work now.
