Rees did very well with the Upper GI this morning. He got quite upset, but overall handled it extrememly well all things considered.
The Pediatric Surgeon, just called. Rees does have a Diverticula in the lower esophagus. He said it is in a very weird location (usually they are higher in the Esophagus), but isn't sure if that is causing all of Rees' problems. He also said the Fundo wrap looks very large, and it may be twisted or loose. He wants to take a close anatomical look at Rees himself. So next Thursday, May 25, Rees will go to Egleston Hospital to have another Endoscopy and an abdominal ultrasound. The surgeon will perform both tests himself. Rees will have to have general anesthesia again.
The surgeon said the surgery, if Rees needs it, is major and he would be in the hospital for at least a week. He doesn't want to do unless he has to, so we may end up trying the feeding tube route if Rees keeps losing weight.
So please pray we find a definitive answer to what is hurting Rees, that he starts eating, and maintains his current weight. We appreciate the prayers and support more than you can imagine.
