[Guest guest]

Hi Kim,

I am Jodi Rollison, 's mom. I just had an appointment with Dr.

Harbison on October 23, and she ended up spending 4 and a 1/2 hours

with and my family. She was pretty much very concerned about

. She said that he was very calorie deficient and said we

needed to get some calories into him any way we could. BUT, I am

like Dayna. I didn't really get a lot of answers. The main thing

is, I wanted to learn more about RSS and how to take better care of

my child. She said that I was doing a good job, but really I have

been lucky with so far. He has had two ear infections within

six months, but no colds or other sicknesses. He had one bought with

low blood sugar, and that was during his first ear infection. Other

than that time, we haven't had any other episodes. That one time was

enough for me. I worry about things like that. I am so freaky

about those kinds of things, and I want to protect him and keep him

as healthy as possible. Well, I am glad that I went to see her, but

she is rather gruff and hard to pin down at times. She is VERY BUSY,

and it shows.

has gained a good bit of weight since we have been back, more

than he would have if we didn't go. He is gaining one ounce a day

now. I am very happy about the results so far. The only thing that

I am unhappy about is his throwing up at least twice a day. It seems

to be pretty hard on him, but the tests she ran showed that he

doesn't have reflux. She does have him on Prilosec two times a day

though. " Just in case " . She said that she wouldn't do the triple

procedure on since he didn't have reflux. I am glad he didn't

have to go through a surgery, but I have always been told that

has reflux. His GI Dr. told me that there are no definitive tests

for reflux. So, who knows.

Anyway, I hope all goes well for you in NY. I just wanted to tell

you that Dr. H did spend a lot of time with us. She was very

concerned and intrigued with . I hope that you do get thae

answers you want. I think the best time to ask her any specific

questions are during your appointment. It is sometimes hard to get

to here once you are admitted and even if she comes around it is hard

to ask her all the questions you have because she is so busy. I just

think the best time to do it is while she is in the office with you.

Take care,

Jodi Rollison
