Quick update! I've got to tell you, I'm getting kinda tired of talking about Jake's medical issues. We are just ready for it to be over and have our son back to normal. Quite frankly, he's much more sick of it than we are. Jake started the new medication (Reglan) on Monday evening. He vomited 4 times on Monday but Tuesday he vomited 19 times and Wednesday 18 times. After a discussion with the doctor Wednesday, we stopped the new meds and I finally got brave enough to try the Valium. 5mg Valium, and the boy barely flinches! I was expecting a full-on nap and craziness, but he says he just feels sleepy for 15 minutes and then "kinda" dizzy. That's it!Yesterday he was down to 10 vomits and we'll see what today holds. We started the application process for a tutor, but who knows what will come. I'm still hopeful. We've taken him down to a liquid diet for a few days and other than feeling starved, it seems to have slowed things down.
We're at 18 days straight and 117 barfs. Quite frankly, I think we'll just stop counting. Perhaps that will fix it, since nothing else has. Thanks for all the love, concern and prayers.

Oh my gosh, 18 times in one day? I can't even imagine. I really, really, really hope he can feel better very soon! We're praying for ya, Jake!
