Endoscopy Update
I know people like to see pictures on the blog, but no offense pictures of an Endoscopy procedure aren't that cute. We saw pics of her esophagus, and the lower esophagus closure, and her Stomach, and her small intestines. Yes they were all just like they were supposed to look. They were pretty strange to see and we learned she has wrinkles in her stomach walls, and villi on her intestinal walls. They took biopsies of some of the areas, and will be doing further testing. We should know the results next week. So far all test have come back fairly normal. The most challenging part of the procedure was trying to keep her heart rate up. Her temperature was 35 degrees c. And her heart rate kept dropping below 45 BPM. (That was during the waking up part)Her blood pressure was 107/66. She thought she was all well, but we had to help her take it slow. They let her leave the hospital when her heart rate got to 60 - 65. She stayed home from school today because she was still wipe out from the General Anesthesia. She has an annoying case of the hiccups she would gladly give away. I think she will be okay.. Still no clue why she has hurt for so long.. Just lucky I guess!

The hiccups are not uncommon after general anesthesia. They will dissipate in time. Good luck with your results...
