Ethan's GI Follow-up

I took Ethan in for his GI follow-up last week to discuss the Ph probe results. Well...Boog's still has "significant" reflux- both acid and non-acid- while on the max. dose of reflux meds. But, since the endoscopy did not show any major esophageal (sp?) damage, dr. is not so quick to refer surgery, which I can appreciate to a certain extent. We covered a lot of ground and I think that we will be getting to the bottom of it all within the next 6 months. We are being referred to the pediatric surgeon- Dr. Turner, the same dr. who put in both of Ethan's ports- for a consultation. At least we will have everything in front of us to weigh over. I feel it in my gut that the nissen fundoplycation is going to be necessary, but I could be wrong. It could just be that the chemo really messed him up in more ways than his gross motor skills. :-(

Say a prayer for Ethan that his little body recovers from the nasty effects of that poison we had to put into his body. He has already made some great improvements!
