Went to the paediatrician on Friday. He has sinus disease, which is a chronic sinus infection. A growth or foreign body in the sinus under his right eye. Partial seizures. ANNNNNND acid reflux up to the back of his throat. SO the paediatrician, who also has a seven-year-old son with autism, is going to "confer" with (get in the face of) his psychiatrist and get him on stronger heartburn meds, a drug that helps with headaches, seizures and is also a mood stabilizer, and a 6-to-8-week course of antibiotics to get the current sinus infection out. Plus we're to get a CT scan for whatever is in that sinus and anything ELSE that may be going on with that kid's head. Paediatrician says he's probably so violent simply because he's in an assload of pain and that is setting off the seizures which is setting off the acid reflux, which is causing him pain. Can we say "vicious cycle"? Dr Carbone wants to (shock, horror) treat him before they try to fine-tune the meds. Plus, he hates Zyprexa. I love my brother's paediatrician. He went berserk when my mom told him just a few things about what was going on at UNI. She didn't tell him the whole story for fear he'd explode. But she will. And Dr Carbone will have a shit fit and I reckon some changes might occur up there.
