Hannah update

We went to Spokane today to meet with Hannah's Peds GI doctor. Hannah has been having issues with reflex and stomach for as long as I can remember and instead of getting better as she has gotten older it seems to be staying the same or even getting worse. We think it may be causing her repeated severe asthma attacks and bronchial spasms.
The GI doctor and I talked, he looked over Hannah and we came up with a plan. October 19th we will head up to Spokane at the crack of dawn, where Hannah will be checked into Children's medical center for two out patient procedures. the GI doctor will be scoping Hannah to make sure she does not have this specific illness and also to look at the wear and tear on her esophagus. The second procedure is a PH test. The doctor will run a probe on the end of a tube the size of s spaghetti noodle down Hannah's nose and place it at the base of her esophagus. This probe will have to stay in place for 24 hours so that the doctor can get a good idea about the severity of Hannah's reflex. While the probe is in place we can not leave Spokane and will be staying in a local hotel or with anyone nice enough to let us stay with them. The reason for staying in town is so that if Hannah pulls it out we can take her to the ER at Sacred Heart Medical and have it put back in place. hopefully Hannah leaves it alone and we do not have to do that. Worse case she will not leave it alone and she gets admitted to the hospital and arms get board-ed..so she leaves it alone. Needless to say we do not want this to happen and I pray Hannah will not care it is there. The results will determine the next steps we take to get Hannah back on a good, healthy road.
otherwise life is good and we are all adjusting to school. Hannah started preschool yesterday and although she was not interested in me leaving her, we are sure she is going to get situated and love going. The only worry at this point will be her overall health and well being. I am being open minded with the idea that she may not be ready for preschool and if that is the case we will figure out something else. Micah, Emy and Cassie are having a great time at school and my classes are well on their way. I will try hard to keep anyone that wants to know posted as we learn more.
