Esophagus Dilitation #24

Just a quick note to let you know that Lucy's dilatation on Thursday went well.

Her GI doctor said while the esophagus continues to grow together, he can tell it is at a much slower rate and was more open than last time (in December).  We are planning to go down to yearly "maintenance" so don't have to repeat until next August - woo hoo!

The coming out of anesthesia part was AWFUL!  She had a lot of trouble keeping her oxygen levels up, so ended up getting re-sedated, lots of oxygen and an EPI Nebulizer.  When we finally got to see her, she was still sleeping for another 2 hours and we were otld she may need to stay overnight...however, in true Lucy form, when she was fully awake, she pepped right up, asked for a Popsicle and was ready to head home.  What a champ!!  It was a long day away from baby Ruby, but she was well cared for by my parents while we were away - Thanks so much!!

No pics this week - I prefer photos of Lucy happy and playing, like her normal self, not sad and sleepy. :(

This week started all day preschool Monday, Wednesday and Friday for Miss Lucy...what a big girl!!!
