The Doctor called us Friday afternoon. There has been no change in Sally's reflux. The doctor asked how Sally does with her antibiotics she has to take every night. In all honesty, she looks forward to it! It's almost like her after dinner dessert! The doctor said to continue giving her the dose of antibiotic and we'll test again in about a year. If there is still no change we will probably end up doing surgery.
The doctor says to keep in mind that Sally has had this reflux since the first trimester of pregnancy so that if there is only a small change in her results that it would be a few years before it would be completely gone (IF there were to be a change in a year). So, that would mean she'd be on antibiotics for years, and that wouldn't be the best thing for her because she could possibly develop a rejection to this antibiotic which could cause problems in the future if she were to ever need it for an infection of some sort.
We're hoping, that whatever the route we need to take, we can have it completed before Sally starts potty training and have it over with before she'll be able to remember and know what's happening.
We know things could be much much worse so we're counting our many blessings! Thank you for all the extra prayers!
