Finally home from the latest banding. Dr. Noel banded three spots this time, all in the lower esophagus near the esophageal sphincter (by the stomach). Reilly's upper esophagus had no new formations (which is AWESOME) and we have to go back for another procedure the week before we go to Houston. Reilly does have gastric varices forming more quickly now, which is expected and should be resolved by the bypass/shunt procedure. She can start having a little juice in about 10 days, which she heard the doctor say and is very excited about. We had to push the start time for her procedure back about an hour and half because the little stinker snuck raisins yesterday morning and we did not want any complications with the anesthesia. I guess she'll be Raisin girl from now on.
Reilly was passing out hugs and kisses to her nurse before we left, which made Ms. Casey very happy!
