Matthew goes in for major surgery on monday. I hope I am doing the right thing for my little boy. He is going to have a fundoplication or stomach wrap done so he will hopefully no longer have reflux which is causing damage to his esphagus. There are plus and neg. to this surgery and the most scary thing is if it works to well he wont be able to swallow anymore, a plus if it works no more reflux and 1 med. removed from his list.
Somedays I sit and wonder when is enough enough or is there such a thing when it comes to your child? I would go to the end of the world for him. I hope I have always made the right choice when it comes to him and his health care. I am so scared and nervous about the up coming surgery, will he wake up ok, will he get an infection, will it work, and will it work too good? My head is just spinning.

Hi. My daughter has RSS too. I saw a link to this blog in MAGIC's weekly newsletter. I know what you mean about wondering when enough is enough. I think about that all the time with my daughter. I don't think there really is a good answer for that. I just think that as long as we have good doctors and go with our gut feeling as the parents then we'll hopefully always be moving forward. Good luck on Monday. I'll be thinking of you guys. Hopefully Matthew can get some good relief from the surgery!

He is getting good relief from his surgery finally it was a long 6 weeks but he is doing much better now. The first 6 were awful was really second guessing my decision but he is over the hump and doing great thanks.
