We saw the GI doctor this morning. He is concerned that the feeding button has caused Ella to now have reflux. There is an endoscopy scheduled for Thursday morning at 8:15am...in FAR north Plano. This is set up to check and see if she has any ulcers in her stomach or intestines. They are also going to see if the "button" is functioning correctly on the inside. If there is a problem with the button then they will just replace it with a different type of device. The ulcers can possibly be treated. If it's not either of those, or anything else that they can identify, then we will be scheduled for the dreaded Nissen Fundoplication. The biggest part that concerns us is that this surgery is pretty intense and not reversible. If we are recommended the Nissen then we will have the surgery after we get back from San Diego.
Please pray for the test on Thursday, that it shows the doctor exactly what needs to be done. Pray for the decisions that we have to make. They are not easy, even with doctors telling us what "needs" to be done.
