GI appointments for the boys

Funny thing.  The boys haven't seen GI in years.  We were overdue so finally decided just to make the darn appointments and go.  Plus the boys had been having some on and off constipation/loose stools but of course when the appointment came, the boys had been fine for a while. 

And, the funnier thing is that both boys came out of the visit with prescriptions!!!  Casey had yeast around his g-tube.  I had been cutting back on his new probiotic, Dr. Mercola Complete, thinking it might be making his stools loose.  Well, it didn't clear up the problem, plus he grew some yeast since I had cut back on his probiotics.  So, he's back on a whole capsule instead of the half.  He got a script for nystatin cream--2 weeks of applying a couple of times a day. 

Colin had the tiniest bit of granulation tissue growing on the inside of his g-tube, near the edge.  So he got a script for Kenalog 0.1% ointment.  Also for two weeks.

Other than that, we just caught Dr. Damico up on how we've been doing the last several years.  It's been so long that we've seen him that there is no electronic record of them seeing him (can't remember how long Fletcher Allen has had electronic records, but it's been years).
