He had an upper GI today to confirm that he does have a hiatal hernia. The fundoplication that he had last time around has either slipped or come loose. He is refluxing again pretty badly (which is why he probably hasn't been sleeping really well) and we don't know at this time if he is aspirating on this reflux or not. I am making an appt with this new surgeon that we REALLY like to get his opinion of what to do. It's possible that we may not be able to avoid a 3rd fundo surgery. This new surgeon said a 3rd surgery is very risky and you are likely to come out with a worse problem than you went in with. Obviously we are praying for no surgery. But if they do need to do this, please begin praying for the surgeon. We have heard awesome things about this man, so we really do trust his advice. I will keep you updated when we have his appt, thanks so much!
