Okay, so the doctor didn't go as expected. Jordan has had such a hard time the last couple months. His first surgery when he was two was a life saver, I am so thankful. I just wished it had lasted longer than 8 years, I know wishful thinking.
Hes getting considerabley worse everyday, so back to Dr Kendall we went! After much discussion we have decided that our best option is to try a temporary fix and have botox injected into his esophagus. We tried having him dilated a few months ago but it hasn't helped any. This will help at the month 6 months meaning he will have to get the botox at least twice a year (ouch). When he explained it he said that some people have to be dilated every month or after a few weeks, so I am soooo hoping that will not be the case.
Our other option that he didn't want to do right now, he wants to wait at least two weeks to see if this is going to work, is to redo the fundoplication all over again. Do to his recent prolapsed fundo these are about our only two options. If it does come to the surgery we can either go back down to Vanderbilt or follow the doctor that did his first surgery which now is at the mayo clinic in Florida. He was so wonderful the first time so of course we wanna go back there but what is actually best for us as a family, to stay closer to home, so that maybe I can get back to work sooner, seeing as we are a one income family of course finances is a major issue espically since we just got dropped from insurance.....
Please pray for everything to fall into place. I read somewhere off someones status the other day that God wouldn't bring you to it if he couldn't bring you through it, and I know that to be true. Hoping we dont even have to go to it though, hee hee!
UGHHHH life gives you lemons....and the are rotten! Just my luck.

I think I may have had that on my status..my nama used to say "God wouldnt bring you to it if he couldnt bring you through it" and then she said sometimes people wish that God didnt care so much about them..but he does and he will help you get through anything. :)
