The Juice

Sullivan has turned into a "juice head" or on steroids.. or whatever it is the kids call it these days. All I ever knew of it was it made my dad cry when he watched baseball. He started his medication treatment in July and we are hoping to see some results. Many people question giving a lil' man the "juice" and if we looked into holistic approaches?

Dr. Glass (GI) & Dr. B (Allergist) & Dr. Pix (Pediatrician) were in fast agreement that we need to treat and protect his esophagus ASAP and with gumption. As of now, Dr. Glass couldn't see any visible scarring during his endoscopy and we'd like to keep it that way. We are lucky to have caught this disease while Sul is still so young, many times it takes years to catch. This bEEast often masked as bad reflux and their little tract way from mouth to tum is so badly damaged they need a feeding tube in their little bellies. So yes, we are all for herbal supplements and teas but really feel juicing and a limited diet is the best and most progressive action at this time.

A few alterations and this is his current dosage :  

AM :

Carafate : 1/2 TSP

Pulmicort : 1 TSP

Prevacid : 1 CAPSULE

LUNCH :

Carafate : 1/2 TSP

PM :
Carafate : 1/2 TSP
Pulmicort : 1 TSP
Prevacid : 1 CAPSULE
Iron : 1 TSP


Seriously, I had to make a chart and paste it to the kitchen cabinet. Now, imagine trying to get a toddler to swallow medication, now imagine trying to get him to do it EIGHT TIMES A F*CKING DAY.. EVERY DAY. Nightmare. Especially since he's exhibiting "roid rage" on occasions. Lil' Baby Hercules.
