GI Appt Update

Kyleigh went to see Dr. Ulshen for the follow up appointment from 3 months back. To say I was nervous would have been an understatement. If her reflux had not improved and if her weight gain had not shown improvements then she was going to be a candidate for the surgery to fix the band that allows the reflux to flow. I don't know how to spell it sorry "nisen". Anyways, when we were there 3 months ago she weighed 18 lbs 4 oz on their scales. Yesterday she was 20 lbs 1 oz. So despite her stubborn ways of eating she is still gaining and she even looks "fleshy and healthy". So we don't have to return to GI for 6 months unless otherwise needed. If her reflux comes back with a vengeance again we can look into have them go in with a scope to check the severity. Right now I chose to keep her medicated, keep using thick-it in her juice and water, and go with the good news. So glad that appointment proved uneventful. Now, we can put all the surgeries behind us and continue moving forward watching her grow and develop new skills.
