Today Hannah had an endoscopy to see if she was a candidate for reflux surgery. We were seemingly left with more questions than answers though. Her esophogas and stomach as well her small instestine looked essentially normal. This was mix news - good that her esophogas has not been damaged by her reflux, but now GI doctor now thinks it was not reflux after all - but alas cannot give us any definitive update on what it is which is rediculous. We know she has reflux - she has had it since she was born - which has added to the difficulty of her feeding and her pain many hours after eating.
Tomorrow she will have another GI test - an stomach emptying test - to see how soon her stomach is emptied to see why sometimes she has been refluxing her breakfast after she has already eaten lunch and dinner. If that is not reflux we don't know what is. Maybe this will lend some idea - but again it is getting more difficult to think that this will be the test to do so.
It is like we keep testing for things without getting any closer. We know the plan God has for our precious little Hannah - we just pray for clarity and for an answer so we can treat her the best we know how and can get the best doctors to be available to help us.
Please pray for our patience and for clarity and for the right test to be done so we can move closer to helping Hannah get better. We know it will be a difficult road, we just need something to be revealed to help us know we are doing all the right things.
