I spoke with the GI nurse today. They still do not have the pH probe results back yet, but they did have the biopsies. They showed some reflux damage, so he will be going on to a new medication, Nexium. This is the "healing purple pill" designed to treat and heal reflux. The doctor felt with the amount of time Cooper has been on prevacid, that there should not be reflux or damage. This is why the med change is necessary. On a brighter note, Cooper had NO eosinophils present in his esophagus, which means no EE! It also means he does not have any blood cells responding to an allergy of any food he is currently eating. That means my hard work to make my breastmilk incredibly pure has paid off. This is great news! All our current foods are SAFE! I am really glad to have the results, and that he will be on the best medicine for his current situation. I am also very glad that we did the EGD. This 100% confirms that it was a necessity and absolutely the right thing to do.
Cooper's lungs are clear, and he is finally back to his old self. His reflux is still quite flared up, and he is having lots of diarrhea, but other than that, he is doing good. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.
