New GI Doctor and feeding team

We had a 2nd opinion consultation with a GI doctor and now we have the go ahead to do a trial wean.  What a difference a doctor can make!!  We've also changed therapists and now have twice weekly in-home feeding therapy with a speech therapist.  Being at home allows us to do so many more things - more props, baths, different foods...We'll probaly start the trial wean in 1 week and we'll pull his tube out during the day and cut his fluids by almost 50%.  And our new doctor also took him off prevacid right away - turns out that prevacid can cause more vomiting....Now we're starting periactin and zantac as needed.
