Edison's Reflux

Eddie had an appointment today with Owen's former ENT to have his constant hoarse voice evaluated. He was scoped (he didn't like it but I thought it was really cool to see on the screen) and the findings are indicative of reflux. He also has a nodule, which we are not going to do anything with for the time being. His poor voice box was obviously swollen and inflamed compared to the normal photo I saw before the procedure. Since we have no birth history on him we don't know if he was a "spitter" or not. He sure can force out burps whenever he wants but I don't know if that counts. He starts Zantac and is rechecked in about 6 weeks to see if there is any improvement.
