Zachary has had a chronic cough since October. He has been on many antibiotics but nothing seemed to be working. They sent us to a lung specialist which determined that he has been aspirating into his lungs, which was causing the chronic cough. Zachary had surgery on Feb. 7, to put his J-tube back in so that he would hopefully not aspirate anymore. Two weeks later he had a chest X-ray that showed his lungs are still damaged but look alot better. We meet with a lung specialist again in one month to talk about another possible surgery called a nissenfundoplication. Long word, but what it means is they will wrap the stomach around the esophagus. It’s a major surgery so we are trying hard to avoid it. We think Zachary may also be having problems hearing. He had a hearing test done last week and didn’t do so well on it.

On March 13th, Zachary had another surgery called a Bronchoscopy,Direct Laryngoscopy and a ABR hearing test,which he past on both ears! No hearing problems. The rest of the tests all came back fine so far. However, we will get the final results of the tests back next week.
