Esophagus Dilatation #22

Melts my heart when she wants to hold my hand when she's "feeling kinda yucky"

Lucy's latest dilatation this week went pretty well.  The doc said that he could still get his scope through (a size "10"), but it was tight.  He dilated her back to a 15 and spent some extra time keeping the inflated balloon in her esophagus to get some extra tissue breakdown.  He's comfortable waiting 5 or 6 months until the next one (and so are we) in the hopes that eventually we can stretch it out enough not to require so much maintenance.

Her recovery was rough - it look her a few hours once we got home to stop throwing up but once she got the medicine out of her system, around dinnertime, she perked up.  She even felt good enough to see Great Grandma DeVries on Tuesday, who was visiting from Wisconsin this week!  She was very brave at the doctor and continued to show us what a strong, special girl she is!!

Four generations!

Meanwhile...we are preparing for Lucys' 3rd birthday next weekend...how did this sweet, sweet girl get to be so big????
