Esophagus Dilatation #11


Throwback photo from last year!

Lucy had her eleventh esophagus dilation this week!  As always, she did great and we actually made a little but more progress than we have in past procedures!  She got all the way through the #8's and to the third level of #10 without too much resistance.

The anesthesiologist and nurses were very good about letting us tell them what works best for Lucy.  (When we tell the docs no narcotics, because she gets too sleepy, they are very hesitant to agree.  We've been told that if the chart is checked and they do a procedure on a baby with no narcotics, it will get flagged or something.  I don't know if that is true or not, but they are always like, "are you sure?").  In any case, it seems to keep getting easier for her (and us!), even though she seems like she is starting to remember it from time to time, as she cries when we get to the operating room every time! :(

Other than that, we don't even have many new pictures to share this time!  We've been busy enjoying outside when we can, getting ready for Thanksgiving and Lucy definitely keeps us entertained!  Here's a classic picture of what I find when I get home after Lucy and daddy have been playing together for awhile - one sock on, one sock off, cushions on the floor and the TALLEST tower possible (built by Jason, not Lucy!!)  Crazy in love with both of them!!
