Because of Ashley's ongoing acid reflux the time came to put her under to do a GI scope. Because she had to check in at 7:30 and the Mercy Springfield is 2 hours away we decided to spend the night up there....but not before Ashley chose to have dinner and play at Dave and Buster's. Trevor was going to spend the night at a friend's house but after Dave and Buster's he changed his mind to come with us and to be with his sister. Such a sweet boy!
She wasn't too nervous about the surgery. She was smiling and telling jokes and holding her dear Didi and her new Build a Bear unicorn while being prepped and then wheeled back. It took about 30 minutes then Dr. Watts came out to let us know that everything looked good. No damage from the reflux thankfully. He placed a Bravo capsule in her though to capture what was really happening. So for the next 48 hours she had to keep track every time she ate, had reflux or was sleeping. She was a champ with that too. Proud of our sweet girl for being so brave at the young age of 6. We are blessed. And thankful to God for watching over her and her GI doc during this procedure!
A heart warming story after the procedure was when the anesthesiologist came back to say she did well with being but under, he said that she was cracking jokes and very relaxed and that is a testament of being raised by great parents. Sure felt good to hear that!
Funny story is that Dr. Watts came by to check on her after she woke up and asked if she would be interested in being a model for the new children's hospital. He said she smiles with her whole face and has the best personality. We agree :). So we will see what comes of that!
