Upper GI - Done!

I would just like to start by saying Alexander is amazing - what a difference a year can make!  His comprehension is at the point where he can be preset really well for things like this, and because he has so much experience with these things (sadly), he takes it all in stride.

The upper GI showed reflux, but not a hiatal hernia.  If it wasn't for the suspicion of the hernia, they weren't going to redo the test.  (They thought it was a bit ridiculous we were there again).  The doctor said that based on his last upper GI you can't dispute the presence of reflux.  It was nice to speak with someone who validated everything we've been through!

We will be hearing back from the surgeon next week to hear her assessment of the results.  We suspect that they will not want to perform the surgery, and refer us back to his GI specialist.  But we will see!
