Visit to the GI Doctor
We saw the GI Doctor yesterday to follow up on Elijah’s ulcer and bleeding.
First, we discussed his recent symptoms:
His bleeding seems to be lessening overall. Although some days there is more blood than other days. He seems to be having less “cramping” or really painful bowel movements. He’s sleeping eating and pooping well and has gained almost 4 lbs since birth!
The doctor mentioned that if his conditions do not improve, a week of steroids and a second colonoscopy should be done.
He might be able to go off the zantac, so we’re going to try not giving it to him to see if things improve. Doctor also suggested increasing the dose of culturelle to two capsules a day to colonize the good bacteria.
We will observe him for another 6 – 8 weeks to reevaluate.
