We are home from the latest procedure! Reilly had two bands and three injections (schlerotherapy) in her esophagus. The bander malfunctioned during the procedure and the doctor had to try to go back in, which caused significant swelling in her esophagus and some bleeding and as a result she received the injections instead of more bands. She is doing well, considering. She has a little nausea and very low fever, but she is home and very happy to have the IVs out of her arms.
We have to meet with Tulane again, as they are our consults for the shunt procedure. Another scope and banding will be performed in two weeks, blood work next week. We will be traveling to Houston (well, the options are Houston, Miami, and Nebraska) for a second opinion regarding the shunt procedure, however I do not know how quickly this will happen. Sooner rather than later if I have anything to do about it - but sometimes, things obviously do not go the way I plan them!
As I know stuff, I will post. Thanks again for keeping my family in your prayers.
That's one strong little girl. She must get it from her momma.
