Heart Monitor Round Two!

I took Hannah to the ped today because she has a terrible cold and I thought she may have another ear infection. Everything with that was fine, but when we started talking about Hannah going to the GI DR next week, and how she had turned blue 2 weeks ago, her ped got a little worried about her. She was trying to decide whether to send her to the hospital today. When I said it happened 2 weeks ago what good would it do now and since its Thanksgiving and the hospital really wouldn't do anything this week anyway, the Dr decided to put her back on the heart monitor at least until we can get the reflux surgery. I know she's probably right and I do worry about Hannah turning blue at night, but I'm also frustrated because I know the thing is going to go off constantly for loose leads. The DR told me if she turns blue again from reflux to take her straight to the hospital. I guess its a little more serious now then it was when she was younger. Please pray that the GI guy will move quickly and do whatever necessary to bring relief. Pray that the tests that have to be done before the surgery can be scheduled quickly and that the surgery can be done as soon as possible. I just want Hannah to get some relief and I know it will never come if we don't get this reflux under control.
