[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 44164, member: 2727"] Hi everyone, Well another day another finding. No G-Tube today. When they went to go do the G-Tube this morning but they discovered that his stomach is not exactly where it should be. My son does have severe scholiosis and was supposed to get Spinal Fusion surgery in Dec of 2006 but after getting a nasty gum infection from dental care he had at a very well known hospital in Ca (Not the hospital that we are at now) the surgery had been postphoned due to the weight loss that ocurred during the infection. The stomach I guess has been pushed upwards due to the contortion of body from the scholiosis. Oh and his stomach is herniated on the upper part as well and the doctors say that that probably ocurred from wretching when he seizes or gets sick. Hmmmmm.... Sue, They are going to do one more test to confirm that he has reflux (Upper GI) in the morning but do have him scheduled for Friday afternoon (His Birthday Eeeek!!!!) to do the Fundoplication and placement of the G-Tube to include moving his stomach to where it should be. We will know for sure tomorrow about the Fundo actually happening during the surgery though. Lisa I have thought about it (Ronald House) but have been going home for the evenings to take care of the pets. I tried sleeping @ the hospital but geeze your lucky to get maybe two hours so I just decided to go home in the evenings knowing that they take great care of him at the hospital. All of his doctors work out of this hospital and have been seeing easy child since he was a little guy. [/QUOTE]
