So, Ryan ended up going to the doctor's office today and getting some meds for reflux. We gave him a dose around 6:30 and then he had some dinner until 7. He's been sleeping since. Really sleeping. He hasn't woken up once crying and/or screaming in the middle of sound sleep. I feel relieved for him.
We give him what amounts to Zantac three times a day, before he eats (or while he's eating).
Unfortunately, work did not turn my paperwork in on time and BCBS doesn't have him in their system yet, even though work has Ryan listed as a dependent. So, the prescription is $92.00. Which is doable. I'm a little frustrated with work for not turning stuff in on time for me. Very frustrated. Plus, they were emailing me at my work email, which I haven't checked (until today) for 2 months. The benefits person in FL claimed she didn't get my faxed paperwork, but my benefits are updated, so someone found them at some point. I know that the claims will be back dated to the date of service and he's covered since May 13, 2009, but I'm still frustated that now I have to tell the billing area at the pedi's office to hold off on sending claims until they get him in the system, or they will end up resubmitting everything.
Sometimes I hate insurance companies...
I am very happy about my sleeping baby. His little eyes were just red rimmed all the time -- like he couldn't get enough sleep all the time. So, we shall see what this does. Even if it cuts the screaming in half, it's totally worth every penny.
In other news, my little eating monster weighs NINE POUNDS SEVEN OUNCES!!!! He's gained close to 3 pounds since May 27th. That's ridic. Totally ridic. I'm very happy that he's gained a good amount of weight, but that's probably a little too much. And the doctor said that we may have to go to a bit more regemented on the eating and only feed him 3-4 ounces every 3 hours, just to slow down the eating. The poor baby wanted to eat all the time, to calm the acid -- like if you ever have drunk milk for heartburn. Poor little guy.
So, hopefully, his weight gain will slow down now, with the meds. I have my real doctor's appt on Monday with my pedi (I saw the doctor filling in for her today) and he has to get his next hepB shot. Poor little guy.
Well, I really need to go to bed now. Or at least go to sleep.
