Time to remove the meds????

Hi Everyone

Well Nicole is now 15 months, and to be honest - no signs of reflux for months - yippeeeee

We had another problem which began around a month ago, Nicole ended up in hospital with Bronchiolitis and needed oxygen for 5 days which I have to say was bloody terrifying.

Nicole has been on a massive doseage of meds, 20mg Omeprazole, 1.5 mls Ranitidine 3 x daily and domperidone 2ml 3 x daily.  Around 6 weeks ago we managed to reduce the Omeprazole to 16mgs, then was too scared to reduce it anymore.

What's caused the concern this time has been the bronchiolitis.  I had to take her back to hospital last week as she was wheezing like hell and getting gradually worse, oxygen levels had fallen again and wasn't healing.  The doc said the problem is that normally adults cough up any yuk so heal from infections and things, but kids can't, so the stomach acid normally gets rid of the yuk but as she is on such a massive dose of meds, she has no stomach acid and therefore nothing to fight it with.  This scared me, we give them meds to help one thing that then cause probs with others.

I removed the Ranitidine from her 3 days ago, and as yet, she's absolutely no less happy than when she was on it.  What I'm looking for is some advice on how to reduce meds.  We are now on 16mg of Omeprazole and 1.5mls Domperidone 3 times daily, can anyone gve any advice on how often and by how much to reduce?

Many thanks
