We finally had our GI visit with the doctor at Children's yesterday, and now have the date set for Gwenn to get her g-tube. It will probably not be a mic-key, but rather a newer type called a bard peg, that supposedly is easier on her, stays in well, is still surgically sewn into place (for her gymnastics) - and can be in place for the year or more they say we'll need it.
Next week we'll have her upper GI testing done, and then the week after will be the surgery. We'll be at Children's for only two days if all goes well, and they will also do the 24 hour PH probe while we are there - measuring her reflux, etc. The big negative is that we will delay two weeks of feeding therapy, but in the long run this is the right thing to do.
I'm guessing the week of the surgery will be her first week back at school, but we'll just have to live with it.
Weight for G is now at 59 pounds!
