Esophagram Day!!!

       I'm back!!! Mommy and Daddy did just fine, but this is T.J. Tuesday!!!  I'm obviously not sedated anymore nor am I under a paralytic.  I am still on some pain meds, but they are already weening me off of them.  Mommy and Daddy both got to hold me again.  I really don't know what to do without my replogle tube so I just stick my tongue out now just like the pictures show you above.  Instead of my pacifier I substitute by sucking my thumb.  Now for the results of the esophagram.

The good news: There are no strictures!!!
The bad news: There is one leak and it's considered a contained leak.  There is also some narrowing, but no more then when the doctor stitched my esophagus together.
The good news again: A contained leak is the best kind of leak to have.  I can even come home with this kind of leak.  Because I do have a leak they put a G/J-tube in and started my feeds again. :)  The surgeons are going to repeat this test again next Monday or Tuesday just to make sure the leak doesn't get bigger.  Once I'm off all the meds and the leak doesn't get bigger or worse and Mommy and Daddy take a few tests I should be able to come home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for praying for my family and me! Please keep it up they are being answered!

Measurements

Still no measurements because of the cords and meds, but hopefully we will have some for you next T.J. Tuesday.
