Earlier today we had an appointment with the Gastroenterologist. He gave me a little more information about the procedure that will be done on Thursday, September 18th at St. Luke's hospital in Boise. Dr. Beck, Tye's ENT doctor, will clean out his lungs and scope the esophagus. Dr. Thompson will then follow by doing several biopsies in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. From the biopsies they will be looking for allergies, celiac disease and scar tissue caused from his reflux.
It has been seven weeks since our last pediatrician appointment which is a record for us! Although, that is good news, the bad news is that Tye gained very little between that appointment and today. Dr. Thompson assured me that Tye should be bigger by now, and that he should have outgrown the reflux by this age.
