TGIF

Today was DJ's treatment and things went pretty well. We were hoping to get rid of the lovely string, but he has a very severe stricture so they want to leave it in until his next dilation. Dr. Black said that the majority of his esophagus is looking great with the exception of the one stricture and he was able to stretch things a bit today. The down side is that we get a very cranky boy with a very sore throat who coughing up lots of ickiness. They did remove the long tube and replace it with a button, which is so much easier to deal with. No more tape and huge bandages wrapped around his midsection. Yeah!! He goes in for a barium swallow in three weeks after which we will meet with his doc and schedule his next dilation. If all goes well we will hopefully be done with all of this by summer! Well I am off to play Taxi for Mackenzie.TTFN
