Out Growing Reflux

I am guessing Landon has out grown his reflux, When we went to Jason's moms house the weekend after mothers day, I left his Prevacid at home, I know... I know.... Well it is about 75$ for a weeks worth and because I had just gotten it refilled Insurance would not pay for it, so I thought I could buy 2 days worth, nope they don't have a walgreens up there so I would have had to buy the whole month, I didn't have the 350+ $ so I decided to just not worrie about it and if he needed it I could always give him an afternoon dose of Axid. Well he did really well off the Prevacid, he actually acted the same, there was no fussing and no gagging, not even a up turned nose at dinner. I was suprised but happy, so when we got home I decided not to give him any and just go with the Axid 2 times a day like he had been getting, except it was when he woke and before dinner. He didn't notice at all, so a month later when we were out of Axid, in need of a re-fill, I decided not to fill it, I knew I could give him our Mylanta back up if he was in need in the middle of the night, or I could always share my tums LOL, I was hoping he wouldn't notice the stop and guess what... he hasn't. No fussing, No puke, No gagging, No up turned nose at dinner. He eats more than he did wile on all the meds, he is growing good, I know this because he is in need of bigger clothes!! 2T clothes, where as just 6 weeks ago 18 months were a bit loose. I am happy about all of this, he still has another GI clinic in aug. and wile I have thought about not taking him in I have decided to go ahead with it, mainly so it will show in his chart we stopped coming because he got better, not just that I didn't show to his appointment.
