After the study they have found that I have achieved maximum growth. Well it's not enough to close the gap anymore. We do have a plan of action that will be set in motion next Friday. I will have my 2nd operation that will see if my esophagus can stretch together, if so they will stitch me together and then stitch me up. If not they will stitch my esophagus to my back muscles and tissue stretching my esophagus forcefully for about a week and then check it. If that doesn't work they will cut tissue around the outer layer of my esophagus and hopefully extend the tissue to make for less of a gap. If all of that doesn't do it then they will tubelarize my stomach and connect my esophagus. This entire plan will take about a month, recovery will be a few weeks from whichever procedure works. Mommy, Daddy, and I appreciate all the love, prayers and support, but continue to ask for all 3 of those until I'm out of this place and home so I can see where I'm going to grow up.
