So we met with the surgeon today and Brianna is FINALLY scheduled to get her feeding tube. February 5th is the big day. At the same time they will do a Nissen Fundoplication - where they wrap part of the stomach around the esophagus to help control her GERD.
It's scary, but we're ready for this. Brianna has gained less than four pounds in a year. It's been a frustrating process getting the medical professionals to figure out what needs to be done. I'm ready for the experience of nursing her and having her learn to eat solids to not be filled with the constant pressure to shove calories into her. Now the feeding tube can take care of the heavy work at night, and during the day she can enjoy nursing and eating yummy food (hopefully moving away from purees totally in the next six months).
So here's my little girl. Two weeks before her surgery. =)
