esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy, also known as upper endoscopy. this test involves passing an endoscope, a long, flexible black tube with a light and video camera on one end, through the mouth to examine the esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine.
ella went in for another (EGD) this morning. she had this done in jan. they are just rechecking things out. she is still having alot of trouble with her acid reflux. they think she might have eosinophilic esophagitis (ee). they took lots of biopsies to check for allergic cells. hoping everything comes back negative!
all went well with the endoscope. they gave her differ meds to put her out this time, cause last time when she was coming out of the drug induced sleep, she was a BEAR. the new meds were great, other then it took her forever to wake up. we get the results in a few days.
she is such a trooper dealing with her acid reflux. they switched around and upped her meds. so hoping she can get the calories in during the day and maybe just maybe she might sleep through the night.
* pic were taken with my camera on my phone. so they are super fuzzy.

Poor thing! I hope they can figure out what is wrong and find a treatment that will work for her! You are a brave woman to go through all of that!
oh, poor ella!
What a trooper. That's the procedure I've had done 5 or 6 times now. On a happy note...she looks darling in that little gown.
So sad! We hope she is feeling better and you can resolves some of the issues.
