Today Ty got another esophagus stretch. It had been six months since the last one! He has been eating so much better. We've seen such improvement. He has a ways to go yet but it is really rewarding when I see him eat a whole piece of pizza himself, or a bowl of pasta, or a hamburger. He didnt clue in what we were doing until we arrived in the hospital parking lot. Then he started to cry and say he wanted to go home. We managed to make him laugh some, in between the crying. When he saw the respirator mask he got really upset.
The stretch went well and the doctor was able to stretch him larger than he's ever done before. This was good news! His esophagus did tear just a bit but the doc gave him some good medicine for it. He did well as soon as we got home...he was back to himself.
We are so grateful for the progress he has made. His next appointment is not until January.
