Hello all!
We are enjoying some time with Ken's parents right now in South Carolina.
Luke is up to 18lbs and 8oz! He is really looking good and catching up with Jack who is just over 23lbs.
Please pray for Luke on Tuesday. We saw an ENT doctor about 3 weeks ago and they did a quick look down his throat. They saw that Luke's vocal cords were very swollen, inflamed, and covered with nodules. The ENT dr said it was most likely from severe reflux and added ANOTHER medication to take at night. The ENT dr also wanted to do a better look at Luke so he is scheduled for "surgery" on Tuesday (8/16) to look at the full length of his esophagus. As bad as this may sound we are praying that they find something! The dr has an idea of what might be causing Luke's problems with swallowing and all his vomiting and we are hoping that the doctor is right. If the condition is found then it is a surgery to fix it and then Luke should be able to start eating and drinking without problems. It has been hard on me to pray for something to be wrong with your child but we want answers and we want something that can be pretty easily fixed.
The Gastrointestinal doctor is also going to look at Luke on Tuesday so he will be getting a full work over! Please pray that Luke does well with the sedation, they find the condition they are looking for, and they can do the surgery to fix it on Tuesday too. Pray that he heals fast and is able to start eating and drinking and we can get the feeding tube out ASAP!! We will update Wed or Thursday next week and give more details about the procedure, his condition, and pictures from our trip. Thank you so much for the prayers!!
