>Hi Guys,

>Took Ryan to see the GI today. He thinks some of the loss of appetite may
be
>due in part to the adderal. I am not sure if that is true. I know there is
a
>loss of appetite with the medicine but sometimes he eats fine and at other
>times not so great. I would think if it was because of the addreal it would
>be more often.

>I had him smell Ryan's breath. I could smell the acid. He said he could
smell
>it to. Considering we haven't done a probe in a while, he wants to do a
>probe on December 27. It's during vacation so at least he won't have to
miss
>school. He says they have a new thinner and more sensitive probe. If the
>probe shows significant reflux than we will have to consider other options
to
>see if the fundo has slipped. He definitely thinks he is refluxing. This
>should be interesting. We did a reflux scan which showed he was not
refluxing
>when he was in last time. So once again we wait.

>Bob's company is changing insurance's. I spoke to the human resource person
>and the company they are leaning towards Ryan's doctors are on. So I am
>praying that is the company we end up with. I let you know if we find
>anything else out.

>Yes good luck on Ryan , I have been through all that with my daughter when
she was a baby , until the age of two years of age.. She had a fundo when
she was about 8months ages.. Then she had another before or maybe a little
after her second anyway.. Alot of her problems was she had gotten sick
really bad at first with the rsv virus then she took sick a couple of days
later with the rotavirus..
She had two fundo surgeries because the first loosened up because of her
illnesses.
She is doing alot better now seems to be eating more but she still is
gagging somewhat when she just overeats a bit..
I keep hoping things will go away on its on but i dont think it will truly
go away..
well good luck again on Ryan..
signing off Roxanna
