This morning I was able to schedule two more appointments for Emma. One is a scope to visually see how much damage Emma's reflux is causing. Concurrently they will do a 24-hour probe on Emma's pH levels to see how severe her reflux is. Doc said with older kids he could send them home with the probe. But Emma is so small and has breathing problems so we will be at the hospital the whole time.
Depending on the results, Emma will either have minor surgery to put a g-tube in her belly or a more invasive surgery to place the g-tube AND do a Nissen fundaplication. If we only have to do the g-tube, we have that surgery scheduled. If we have to do the Nissen, we will have to talk to a surgeon.more

i hope things go smoothly. we had to take isaiah in when he was 2 weeks for one of those 24 hour reflux tests. it was hard. and i know you've been to the doctor numerous times - we're praying for you guys and hoping this surgery helps a ton.
