It Just Never Ends (69/365)

Izzy had to go to see her doctor this morning. She's been showing signs that her acid reflux isn't being controlled by the Zantac anymore and Dr. Dan wanted to see her as soon as possible. He doubled her dosage and explained that not all generic versions of Zantac are created equal, so not only could her issues be from getting bigger and naturally needing a change in dosage, but she could have had a generic drug that wasn't as potent as another. So in the future we need to keep track of what drug she's on and if her symptoms reappear on certain generics. Hopefully she'll be back to normal in a week or so.

Then there is this issue she's had for about three weeks now. She has this shake that she gets mostly when she eats, but also at other random times as well. I was concerned about it at first because it looked kind of like a seizure, so I recorded her while she was eating one day. Eventually I wasn't as concerned about it because I was able to prompt her to do it so I put it out of my mind as some little quirk of hers. Dr. Dan thought the same, until he actually saw her do it. While he isn't convinced she's having a partial seizure as she doesn't stare off into space when it happens, but he wants to err on the side of caution and have her checked out. So soon enough I will schedule her for an EEG. Hopefully it's just those spastic Bathje genes.

Good news, she's nearly 20 lbs! 19 lbs 11 oz to be exact! She's finally up to the 33rd percentile, which I'm quite happy with. That's quite a feat for my little 10th percentile baby!
