Reilly goes back to Children's Hospital today for her fourth EGD/Banding procedure. Depending on whether or not any banding has to be done, will determine whether this one is out patient. If no banding or bleeding, we will be home tonight. If banding does have to be done, we will stay in PICU like before. What the doctor sees will also determine how long before the next procedure - 2 weeks or 4 weeks. SO, I feel like there is a lot riding on this procedure. Dr. Noel (GI) indicated at her last procedure that he thinks she may be "over the hump", but will have no way of knowing until this procedure. I cannot tell how much I hope so. There is no way to measure how quickly the varices are forming except to go in there and look.
We are still waiting on insurance approval to go to Texas Children's Hospital for a second opinion. All of Reilly's records have been forwarded, so as soon as the insurance says go, well, that's where we go!
I will post more information about today's procedure as soon as I can. Thank you all so much again for your thoughts, prayers, support, friendship, and love.
