First of all, let us just say thank you to everyone who made our trip to Cincinnati possible! We journeyed on a very small 6-seater airplane & dodged multiple storms with minimal sickness. Thankfully, our pilot was really great! Jordan even flew the plane during take-off of our last leg. A huge thank you too to our brother for helping us out with our hotel stay. Lots of blessings all around!!
On the flip side, the trip did shock us to say the least. Sy’s reflux and outward symptoms had remarkably improved so we were hopeful to get up there and find out that we could start to reintroduce one of foods currently restricted. We were excited to see the results, as was the doctor. Unfortunately, the results of the endoscopy were not as we had hoped. We are still awaiting the results of the biopsy but the doctor says that visually the disease is as active as it was three months ago despite the diet changes. We are now faced with a whole new ballgame. We are now looking at the decision of putting him on a all liquid, amino acid formula diet (with a possible feeding tube). We want to get to the root of the problem of this disease and according to the doctor, we cannot continue on the same path. This will be a huge lifestyle change for all of us. Please pray for healing, wisdom and for the support that we’ll need to continue on with this process.
On the upside, God still continues to carry us in his hand and we are excited to see Him work throughout this entire process.
