Well, as of today Hailey is "unofficially" off zantac for her reflux. The ped wanted her off of it by her first birthday, but her reflux was still acting up so we increased the dosage for another few months. At her last check-up, 18 months, they wanted to give it a month or two more and then meet back to see where she was at. Well, the day of the appointment came and went because I was to chicken to take her to the doctor. Around that time the norovirus and other yucky stuff was going around so I cancelled. Lately, though I have noticed that she is fine so I started weaning the dosage. She was on 3ml's 3 times a day, then we went down to 2 times a day, then 1 and now today - none! I am sure her ped will be happy at her 2 year check-up next month.
So Hailey has now been weaned off the apnea monitor, reglan and zantac by the ripe age of 2! The only thing she is on now is the miralax. We are actually still having bowel issues so I am going to bring this up at her check-up. For those of you who don't know, in the NICU they thought her intestines were malrotated. She ended up having many tests and a surgery consult. She ended up going but was "suppository dependent" even once she left the NICU. They never really clarified what they think it was, but did say it wasn't a malrotation because if that was the case nothing would get through. We were supposed to get follow-up tests at her 1 year check-up, but at that time she seemed fine so they didn't order any. We will see what they say at this point.
And lastly, yesterday after work we went to the lake. Last year Hailey was not fond of the water, but this year she loves it!
