Jacob and Karley's Medical news
Jacob and Karley both have new medical news.
Jacob had to have an upper GI a few weeks ago (I forgot to take pictures.) Then yesterday he had to have an endoscopy procedure.
Long story short he had EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS. His esophagus is narrowing do to a build up of white blood cells. The WBC are there trying to fight an "allergy" to dairy products. This has also caused GERD. That's when the bile from the intestine is coming back into the stomach causeing ulcers. Poor kids got a diet restriction list a mile long. He seens to be Okay with the limitations so far. We'll see how he feels about it in a few weeks.
Colby and Karley waiting for Jacob to be done.

Wow. So was all of Jake's stuff from the milk allergy? The Asthma and the choking? I bet it's nice to have some answers. Hopefully they are the right answers.
Hope Karley does well with her surgery & recovery.
