acid reflux :/


So 2 weeks ago Lou starts having gagging sensations and even clear vomiting and sometimes a headache. We took him to the doctor a day after it started due to neurosurgeons orders and the pediatrictian passed it on as a virus and said if he isnt better with in 2 days then call them back. well we waited for 5 days instead (waited til monday morning) and they made him an appointment that evening and they wanted him to see Dr Goodbar (his main pediatrictian that sees him) and he said he still doesnt think the gagging and vomiting isnt coming from the shunt and that it sounds like a gastroligist thing. And he wanted to treat him for Acid Reflux [GERD] Well with in two days of the medicine he quit the gagging and the vomiting and then the gagging started back and then stopped again. He has another appointment tomorrow morning to see Dr Goodbar again for a checkup and see what we have to do now :) He is currently not vomiting and only gagging some mornings and seems to do pretty good. He takes his Zantac [the medicine they prescribed for the reflux] right after he gets up and then eats and then again  at about 6ish -6 30ish right before his last meal for the day:)
