We finally got a great pediatrician up here! We ended up going to the one in Cadillac and she was great. A young girl, but up to date on all the 'know' about kids. She was very patient and kind and took her time talking things through with us. I was so relieved. Some of you asked why we couldn't find a closer doctor- our insurance gives us a list of approved people, and we pick one. And it just so happens they don't approve any Peds close to here. !!!!!
Anyway, she said he has severe reflux and put him on prevacid in addition to Zantac. I guess they both do different things, but together should be perfect for him. She was also concerned about his belly problems. (He grunts and strains and screams all the time for no apparent reason- not at all related with pooping). So she ordered some tests at the hospital, a barium swallow, in which he'll drink the stuff that makes him glow inside so they can see what's going on in live xrays. She said his abdomen is really swollen and bloated, so there might be an upper intestinal issue going on. I personally think it's related to the problems he had in the womb. We'll just have to wait and see, and pray he's ok and we can help him feel a little better:)
