Good news! Good news! Good news!!

The best-case scenario has taken place. While they had a scope down her throat they saw that her esophagus had become too narrow due to the fundal plycation (have no idea if that is spelled correctly) (which was the device inserted when she was a baby to help with her acid reflux and took away her ability to vomit). They inserted a balloon and dilated the area. If she can keep liquids down for a few days, then pureed foods, then slowly start solid foods again that should take care of the problem. If all looks good they can go home tomorrow. If  the esophagus goes back to restricting the food flow to the stomach then they will open her up and adjust her too-tight fundal plycation (again..????). But for now all looks great. There was no scar tissue, irritation, or any other unhealthy indication in there. Praise God!

 

That is exactly the scenario they were hoping for. Not evasive. No major surgery. She is awake and feeling great and drinking apple juice. Thank you for your prayers. This family is greatly relieved and praising our God.
