Jenna saw her ENT, Dr. Digoy, on Friday. After mulling over the options, we decided a second set of tubes is the best option for Jenna. So, October 29th it is. I'm really thankful Dr. Digoy does this while under anesthesia. The other ENT's up at Children's Hospital just wrap the kids-up tightly and do it while they're thrashing around and screaming. So traumatizing!
Thursday is a big appointment for Jenna. She sees Dr. Sferra, her gastroenterologist. He's closely monitoring her paraesophogeal hernia and liver. Most likely, her labs will be ordered early for her liver (as opposed to waiting a couple of more weeks). It takes about 5 days for the results to come in. If her liver numbers have not decreased, she will have to undergo a livery biopsy. Dr. Sferra feels Jenna has developed a liver disease. In most cases, the liver heals itself, but Jenna is not in the "most cases" category.
We are so blessed by our friends and family around us. At this moment, I want to specifically thank our small group. Thank you all for your commitment to pray for Jenna.
