Pepcid to the rescue!

Prevacid didn't seem to be working for Daria so we started her on Pepcid last week.

In reality I think the Prevacid would have worked fine if we got proper dosing but the pediatrician had us cutting the 15 mg. solutab in half, dissolving that half in 5 ccs of water and then giving her 1 cc twice a day. For anyone that has ever used this solutabs you'll know that the 'pellets' sit in the water, they don't fully disolve so we'd never know how much of the actual medicine she was getting. It was really strange dosing... and on top of that, Prevacid is a time release medicine, meaning it slowly releases over the course of the day. So why give it to her twice a day?

The Pepcid is working out much better because we only have to give her .3 cc, which is easier to give her. It seems to be working well as she is much calmer now - I think some of this has to do with her maturity also. Her temperment on a whole is much more even now and I hope it continues. She's sleeping longer at night and we hope to move her to her crib next week. I really need her to sleep in her crib!

We see the GI doctors next week and hope for the best!
