results..

I am so Happy to tell everyone.. they were able to retrieve the data off the box!!! Hannah test came back and even with the medication they gave her during the procedure to calm her stomach the results came back mild to moderate reflex associated with registered pain. a small explanation: I had told Hannah about the box and explained what the buttons meant and when I need to push them. through the study Hannah kept pushing the button and I had to repeatedly get after for it. I put a note in the papers that i was recording on that she was doing this and apologized that it may show inconsistencies. It turns out that Hannah knew what she was doing and that when she pushed the button she was refluxing.
This shows that she is feeling it and is in some pain. with all of this and no sign of disease we are choosing to push through and get a referral for a pediatric surgeon to look at her case and see if surgery is a good idea. Hopefully a plan will be in place by the end of the year, we have an appointment as we head out of town just before Christmas to talk to Hannah's GI doctor. If surgery is needed or advised we will aim for the beginning of January before my classes start and after the holidays. Thank you to anyone that has been praying that we can get this data. I was horrified at the thought of putting her through this all again and had come to the conclusion that if they could not get the data I was going to hold off to test again until after cold and flu season, which is a rough time for Hannah regardless.
