I took Hannah to see the pediatric surgeon in Spokane yesterday and we are going to go ahead and do the surgery to fix her reflex. The procedure is called "Nissen fundoplication". the hope is that it will help stop her from refluxing and give her lungs the chance they need to get a bit stronger. There is always the chance that it will not change anything and we will just have to continue to deal with it all but the success rate is 80% it will work and for that, I am willing to try it. Hannah surgery is scheduled for January 7, 2011. a few days after we return from our winter vacation in eastern Idaho. We have a great surgeon and I feel confident that this will help her. we have chosen to wait until after the holidays because it is recommended that Hannah stick to a very soft diet the first month after the surgery, I do not want to sadden her holiday eating of goodies so we will fit it in before school starts for me. She will be at Providence Children's Hospital in Spokane Washington (formally know as sacred heart) for two or three days.
we are all very excited to be heading to Idaho Falls in just a few days. We hope we can see everyone that is in town and lives around there during our stay!!
