The amazing journey of a brave, fun-loving, creative boy who is enduring and has overcome so much already: failure to thrive, feeding tube dependency, food allergies, silent reflux, pulmonary valvar stenosis, chiari malformation, syringomyelia, retroflexed odontoid, mild bilateral hearing loss, a blood coagulation disorder, and Noonan Syndrome.

Meds
We seem to have found a good combination of OTC and prescription medicine that keeps Auggie comfortable, produces daily bowel movements and reduces his stomach acid just enough to keep the pain down. He takes ranitidine (zantac) for his reflux, and cyproheptadine (periactin) to increase his appetite. We also give him 1 ml of milk of magnesia and it works wonders!!
