Flovent Results

I can see that many people are searching online about Flovent. I did the same thing when I was trying to decide whether to use it or not but after learning how bad his esophagus was in May I didn't feel like I had a choice. I still don't know a lot about it but we did put Taegan on it for 2- 3 months and here are the results.

Here is a pic of Taegan's esophagus back in May.

Here is a pic of his esophagus when we did his 6th EGD in August.

As you can see the Flovent did it's job. He didn't have any eosinophils. I don't know exactly what to think about it. I'm glad his esophagus got a break but after talking to both of his GI's we have taken him off of flovent and the eosinophils will just return so I am assuming in a few months I will be back to where I was in May. I guess we will see.

Here is a pic of his stomach. Even though we took him off a prevacid after doing the PH probe after seeing the amount of bile in his stomach his doc said to put him back on it because his stomach looked irritated. Even while being on Flovent Taegan did still throw up on AVG of once a week for the 2-3 months and he tells me his tummy hurts daily. Most of the time it is right after he ate. A few times he would throw up right after telling me his stomach hurts.

He is getting old enough now (almost 2 1/2) that he is starting to realize what is going to happen to him. He fought me for awhile and cried and didn't want to put his gown on. The cute nurses gave him some stickers to distract him.

Besides EE life .....

Kadence turned 1 and weighs 17 lbs. I didn't even attempt to take her in for pictures because she is very antisocial to strangers and I knew she wouldn't cooperate at all. So I attempted a couple times to do some myself and she didn't cooperate w/ me either but here they are.

Learning to wakeboard. I can't decide if it's worth being so sore afterward.
I'm starting to feel old.

We'be been camping a couple more times. I don't know what we're going to do all winter. Hopefully we'll get more sleep and rest up for next summer.
