Todays Endoscopy

Ella did wonderful. She laughed and smiled and talked before and after the endoscopy. She charmed all of the nurses...as always. They loved her and thought she was so wonderful and beautiful...what can I say, she's both!!

They saw NO ulcers or problem with the button on the inside. Dr. Brown said everything looked beautiful. That would be great, except that everything looking good means that she just has reflux and it's causing her to choke and possibly aspirate. So, now we are needing to make some decisions. The recommendation is to perform the Nissen Fundo surgery (that I've linked to before...see posts below). It's a big deal and a pretty good size scar...and it's permanent. It's just a lot on our plates and minds right now. If we do the surgery it won't be till after our trip to San Diego for Joe's marathon.

We'll keep you in the loop!
