The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 5

[PNO4TE]

Now how can you say no to this, Kate?

Does it have to do with the DDA July trip?

 

[babytrees]

Come on, Queen Kate. Don't tease us! We ought to get some reward for staying up so late and being so excited about anything you have to tell us. Please, please, please? Pretty please with a Dole Whip on top?

What she said!!

Just got home. The appointment went as both John and I expected. Dr. Meyers agrees Rees is refluxing again. He said best case scenario is that it isn't as severe as it appears to be, and that Rees is just really sensitive to the acid. If that is the case, they will manage him with meds and diet. But, we have to find out just what it going on. So either this Friday or next Friday he will go to the Outpatient GI Lab at the hospital and have an Endoscopy and pH Probe. They will give him an IV and put him to sleep. They'll put a tube with a small camera down his esophagus into the stomach to view the anatomy, check for hernias, and check the status of the Fundo. Then Dr. Meyers will attach an electronic sensor to the inside of his esophagus. The sensor sends data via a wireless device to a gadget Rees will wear on his hip for 48 hours. It will tell the doctor the pH of the acid in his esophagus and show how bad the reflux is. He has to stop all Reflux meds that week and must eat a very acidic diet for the weekend (apple juice, oj, tomato products, etc) to make the stomach acid as bad as possible. It is the only way go get an accurate reading. Last time he had a pH probe was awful. without the meds, he refluxed horribly and was in a lot of pain. I'm hoping this time won't be as bad. After 48hours we take the data box back to the doctor to download and analyze the info. If it shows moderate reflux and the Endoscopy shows anything, then we will go to the Surgeon to repeat the Fundo.

That is all I know at the moment. Please pray it isn't as bad as it appears and Rees can avoid surgery. Thanks for all your support. It means a lot.

OK, here are 2 more princess designs. Sorry, only a prince in our house so I am not up to date on all of them. I think this covers them all...
As always, I am willing to PM them to my DDA family with either logo (or without!)

Don’t you think you made Snow White look a little sexy? Maybe she has been taking hints from Minnie about having some turtle, but not giving up her freedom.

Ok, everyone, go hug your children right now! Alan just called me from work. He was called in tonight because of an Amber Alert. A man who is separated from his wife, kidnapped their 3 children today. He called his wife and told her that he was going to kill them and himself and they would all be reunited in heaven. He drove on the Interstate, abruptly left the road, cut through an alfalfa field and drove his truck up onto a cliff. He called his wife once again so she could say goodbye to the kids. Then he told the kids he was going to drive off the cliff and they would all go to heaven. Luckily, the police saw him cut off the Interstate and surrounded his car within moments. The kids are all fine, and he is in jail, now!

Makes you just want to hug and hold on to your babies, doesn't it?

It makes me want to do things to that rat b****** that are unmentionable on here.

I know that logic might not work - but you could tell her that in 99% of cases kidnappings are by a non-custodial parent

and since she is in a home with a mom and dad who love her and each other she is very safe!

That's what I tell her, but she is such a dramatic little thing, she personalizes everything. She's positive the "bad men" will come and get her. It will go away, and each time it's a little better, as she gets older, but it breaks my heart to see my child so afraid!
