Please air-hump vaccuums more often. So hilarious.

I have a baby girl that is two days older than your son (we have a 4 year old son too though). She is on Prevacid now and insurance denied the coverage because it is now available over the counter. However, I called them and told them that the solutab, which I'm assuming your son is on, is not OTC and obviously she can't swallow a pill. I was given another number for our pharmacist to call so that it would be covered. You need to fight them, I bet your insurance is pulling the same card! Good luck!

My son moved from Zantac to Prilosec as well, but that wasn't his last stop. My husband is a pharmacist and he felt that Prevacid would work best, but many pedis won't use that until all other options have been exhausted because it's a new and less-studied drug. After Prilosec didn't work, our son was put on Prevacid which is a MIRACLE drug! It seriously helps him sooooooo much… it was like we had a new child. Reading your posts brings back some tough memories… people don't understand that when you say "Harrison cried all morning" that he ACTUALLY cried for hour upon hour upon hour. It sucks more than a Dyson and I hope you find Harrison's miracle drug soon!

Ben and I bought the Dyson Ball (all floors) last year. Although it was $400, it was worth every penny! I love to vacuum.

I have a refurb. dyson at home and work and love them!
Also, I would try the soy. My daughter was BF and when we tried to intro cow's milk, she had issues. Pedi thought it was teething/flu/cold/whatever and told us to wait a few weeks and try again. So I continued to BF. Again tried and had issues. Pedi again thought it may be coincidental to teething, wait a couple of weeks and try milk again, in the meantime continue with BF. I wanted to tell him to grow tits and feed her! I mentally checked out of BF at 12 months and it was now 13 months, 2 weeks and a few day (but who's counting). Sure enough, we try milk a few weeks later and projectile vomitting, diarrhea, random skin rashed with occasional hives. Saw allergist……epi-pen worthy dairy allergy and a wheat allergy. Fun. I would try switching to the soy formula and see how he does.

I hate to say this and cause unnecessary worry, but you may want to ask your pedi about pyloric stenosis, with the severe reflux and vomiting…

Just so you know, Overstock often has refurbished dysons which look and work like brand new ones. I bought one for $250 about 3 months ago and I'm in love. Plus, they shipped me the vacuum without the filter so they gave me an additional $50 off. So I guess order one and hope they screw it up?

the milk & bread frenzy? I thought for years it was just a PA Dutch thing. Not so much, I see. I myself will be going out to get emergency rations of wine and cheese.
I so hope you fight authority for the prilosec! poor Harrison!

I have a DC-17 and omgz! I love that thing! Prior to the Dyson I had a Kirby, which was suppose to be THE vacuum. Ha! After 12 yrs. it bites the dust and luck for me it was Xmas time and the hub got a nice, nice bonus. I got a Dyson. Brought that baby home and commenced to vacuuming. I was APPALLED! Totally. You would not believe the crud that came out of my carpet. I had to dump the container THREE times just vacuuming my living room! I am astonished. I mean I'd had a Kirby for cripes sake! Brand new carpet and then 6 yrs of the Kirby and I had that kind of nastiness in my carpet. Skived me out! Now it's been 3 yrs. and the Dyson still manages to amaze me. I can't imagine how filthy my carpet would've been had we not gotten this miracle.
I'm sorry…I'll just stfu, but I tend to go on and on and on when I hear the word Dyson.

Good luck, hope you win this miracle!
