Ethan's doctor visit

For about 2 months Ethan has been complaining about feeling sick all the time and you know he's really sick when he would rather lay on the couch than play with friends. I took him into the doctor and we tried several things before he finally referred us to a pediatric gastroenterologist. We tried several other things with him before deciding to do a COLONOSCOPY and an ENDOSCOPY to look for possible causes. So after a very clean colon, a few biopsies, and lots of money later, we finally got the results back, he has REFLUX. Simply treated with over the counter Prilosec. How frustrating!!! (at least we have answers and its not life threatening)

I can't believe it Sarah. I am so glad it is something so easily treatable. Hope he is feeling a lot better.
