Zachary is out of surgery and it didn’t go as planned, a 5min surgery to dilate his esophagus turned into almost a 6hr surgery and very big mess. When DR Hess tried to dilate the esophagus he perforated his stomach which is very dangerous for Zach. So DR Hess had to reopen Zachary’s poor little tummy again! When he was opened again they saw that his stomach and esophagus
was twisted; not good. Dr Hess had to take down the Nissen and said that he should never have another Nissen again , well he should of listened to me in the first place!! I was trying to tell these DRS that I didn’t want him to have a re-do Nissen! The plan is to wait 3 days and see if his stomach will work again. Zach has had a lot of surgeries on his stomach and you can only have so many surgeries before things don’t work right. The DRS are also worried about his Hemoglobin being so low , him being Iron deficient and being in Kidney failure again is not helping him at all. Zachary’s little body is fighting pretty hard right now.
The bad part about Zachary not having a Nissen his that Zach will be J-tube fed the rest of his life and we are not sure if his stomach will work properly again. Time will tell.
Please keep Zachary in your prayers, We met another family up here with a little girl that also needs a lot of prayer. www.callisonchronicle.blogspot.com
