Re: Jodi R-I did get a call back

[Guest guest]

Jodi,

The GI doctor did call eventually. In fact, I spoke to him twice

yesterday. I should have posted something, but I've just been so

overwhelmed.

Anyway, he is the specialist in rumination. He said to put Max back

on Klonopin, keep using the Zoloft and on Tuesday he wants to start

Max on Zelnorm. In my opinion, waiting until Tuesday is torture and

unfair, but he's the doctor.... I do trust him. Zelnorm is usually

used for people with irritable bowel sydrome, but it has been found

to work with those who are hypersensitive in the gut and will help

with delayed emptying. I know Dr. H. has discussed this with us

before.

Meanwhile, Max hiccups like a foghorn. We have found that massage

helps a lot. At least while we are massaging him, he gets a 5-10

minute break from the hiccups. That's about all I can offer him for

now. Sigh.

I am so glad you and that doctor finally had a chance to talk. Too

bad he won't start the Zelnorm today. Did he tell you why you needed

to wait until tomorrow? Strange. It sounds like the massage is the

best thing going for Max right now. Poor thing. I don't know how he

is handling this so well. I'd be a big baby about it! )

Keep us updated on him.
