Aaron saw Dr Y (pulmonologist) this morning. We are concerned with his increase in reflux, coughing and choking. Dr C thinks he needs a Nissen to prevent him form aspirating again. We talked about his history of aspiration, episodes of respiratory distress the fact that he has had pneumonia numerous times and his lack of cough and gag reflux. He sent us for a chest x-ray and upper GI. During the upper GI we could see the reflux on the monitor. My heart just sank. I knew all along that he had reflux, I ws just hoping for the best. After Dr Y sees the tests results we will decide when to schedule his surgery. I was hoping to avoid another surgery for him, but I have to do what I can to protect his airway. Again I was told that kids like my precious Aaron have a very high chance of passing away at night form aspiration. I love this little boy so much. I am so thankful to still have him here with us. God must have such a special plan for this sweet child. He has brought him through some really tough times, when all hope was lost. He has taught me that I am not in charge, God is and he will see me through everything.
