Re:Jordan and 's appt with Dr.H

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Jordan and had their appt with Dr. H yesterday. Jordan lost about 1

lb from last visit. He went from 16.8 kg to 16.6 kg. His height improved - it

went from 104.6 cm to 106.2 cm. He was sick over the weekend - vomiting and

diarrhea and hardly ate anything but a piece of toast and 2 crackers for the

whole day. His diet has also changed since he started school in Sept. Since

there's no way his lunch can be heated (unlike his other school) I send him with

a sandwich everyday which isn't as much calories. Before I would send him to

school with rice, nuggets, noodles, broccoli, carrots, hotdogs... I need to

find a lunch box or some device that can keep food warm for a few hours. Any

ideas? Please let me know. Because of his weight loss Dr. H put him back on

Periactin. Can anyone using periactin tell me how their child reacted to it in

the beginning? I am afraid of the mood/behavioral side effects since he's

having some trouble in school already, and the drowsiness. Dr. H wants him to

take it before breakfast and dinner but I wonder if he will be sleepy in school

after taking the morning dose.

Dr H prescribed Zantac for and advised us to change the formula to

Alimentum. I started giving this to yesterday and he does not like it

one

bit. On the can it does state that it does not look or taste like milk or

soy. It takes so long for him to take a few ounces. Dr. H also said that it

looks like he has allergies to something because he has eczema in the crease of

is arms, neck, and foot. That's another reason why she suggested we switch

formulas. If there's no change, then he needs to go to GI. His height is much

better than his weight. He weighed 6.1 kg and has been this weight for the past

3 weeks. He's slowing falling on the curve. Dr. H doesn't think he has RSS

though. I'll keep you posted.

mom to Jordan 4.11 yrs Rss G tube, GH, Periactin 5.2cc, Tums, Vit D

and 41/2 months Zantac

hey leslie!!

i am glad you are possibly getting some answeres as afar as justin is

concerned. sorry to hear about jordan's weight. give me a call if you

like on fri. christopher is on the periactin and he does well with

it. he is only moody for a couple of days if the dose is changed.

this doesnt always happen either. make sure you increase the periactin

over a few weeks. ((HUGS)) we go back on feb 7th, maybe we will see

each other?
