Prevacid-free for 9 days!
I've been afraid to post anything about this, for fear that I might jinx it. But...over the past 4-5 weeks we've been gradually weaning Cooper off of the Prevacid, hoping to discover that he's outgrown the reflux (since that's really the only way to find out other than performing invasive tests which could be inconclusive).
During our week in FL, Cooper was down to 1/4 of his daily dose and was doing well in spite of teething and battling a cold that turned into a respiratory infection/early stage pneumonia. Those are things that generally cause a flare-up with reflux even when they're on medication, so I take it as an excellent sign that Cooper didn't have reflux problems while sick and teething AND being on barely any medication.
As of today, he's been Prevacid-free for 9 days! He just finished a 10/11-day round of antibiotics for the respiratory infection/pneumonia on Sunday, and by Monday afternoon he had a runny nose again - new cold ;(. Still, in spite of the cold, he seems to be doing OK without the reflux meds so we're really happy about that.
Now that he's got over a week under his belt without the meds, we can start working on transitioning him to his room/crib. I'm going to wait until his cold is over but by the end of the week we should be ready to start that process which I expect will take 3-4 weeks, depending on how it goes. I'll post later with details about my plan for approaching the transition.
