New Medication/New Hope

We got the results from Dougie's ultrasound. It did confirm that he had reflux and that there were no other physical problems. So, that's good. Unfortunately, he's maxed out on the Prevacid so we can't increase that. The doctor wants us to try a new medication, bethanechol. It is from a group of drugs called "prokinetic" and is normally used to treat delayed gastric emptying. The drug causes the stomach to empty faster thus reducing the amount of acid that can build up and cause reflux. We're hoping that this may help things along substantially. If he isn't improved by Friday, we're supposed to talk to the doctor again.
