J tube for

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have been waiting to post this so I can get as much info. as I

can. But, Dr. H is recommending that we try the Mic-Key low profile

J tube before considering the surgery for him. She says it is worth

a try before doing such an invasive surgery. But, 's history

with the GJ tube is not good, but Dr. H thinks maybe the Mic-Key J

will work out better for him. Only time will tell. But, we are

waiting to do that because Dr. H wants to have ANOTHER GET

done because his reflux was so severe that they couldn't get an

emptying time on him. So, Dr. H is setting up the test to be done

slightly different in order to help prevent the reflux as much as

possible. Also, I am still waiting for this to be scheduled.

Here is one for Jodi Z. If shows that he has a prolonged

emptying time, Dr. H wants him to start the Cisapride. Luckily,

's GI doctor is still able to give this medicine, as he is

certified to monitor as he should. Jodi, what are the effects of

this and what do I need to know and expect about it? Should I have

any concerns for being on this? Anything you can tell me

about it would be great. But, maybe he won't need it if his emptying

time isn't too delayed. Keeping my fingers crossed for that, but

something in the back of my mind (and episodes) tell me otherwise.

So, that is the news here. Still waiting to hear if I take him off

the Prilosec at night and give the Zantac instead. He was on

Prevacid in the morning and Zatac at night when we first saw Dr. H

and then she changed him to Prilosec twice a day. She mentioned

starting the Zantac again at night, but 's pulm. doctor thinks

she forgot that he was on Prilosec twice a day! Ugh. Not that we

finally have documention that he has reflux, no one is sure what to

do for it!
