Medical Update

We took Dougie into the doctor yesterday. The new medication wasn't working well enough and the doctor wanted to see him. Dougie decided to get an eye infection just in time for our visit as well.

We got some new medication for his eye and the doctor wants us to go and see a specialist to get the tear duct opened. It doesn't sound like a fun activity but I gather that once they do it, things get better instantly. This is Dougie's 7th eye infection in 4 months so I had to agree that it's time. We have an appointment to get that done on June 22nd.

The doctor then said that he was out of ideas on the reflux front. Dougie is on the maximum dose of all his medications and the doctor isn't comfortable giving him more than that. So, he'd like us to go see a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. We'll be going to see Dr. Ogunmola on June 26th. We're keeping a log of all of Dougie's symptoms and activities until then. Hopefully, that information will help him determine what is going on. He apparently specializes in GER so I'm very hopeful. Now, we just need to make it through until then.

Here's a bit of Dougie fluff so you can see how big he's getting.
