Karson was seen by Dr. Guairn today who is very happy that his lungs sound so great. She is also happy that he has not had to use some of his meds. She reduced his Alvesco to 1 puff two times a day rather than 2 puffs twice a day. She also has been speaking to Dr. Barrios about Karson's reflux and it getting into his lungs. She thinks we need to see the surgeon but knew he had an upper endoscopy today.
The upper endoscopy today showed that Karson's pyloris is the way it should be now. It might have been inflamed the last time and that is why Dr. Stathos could not get past it. Today all was fine. Dr. Barrios now wants to have a discussion with Dr. Guarin about surgery for his reflux and suggests we might consider meeting with a surgeon to discuss the options and see what they have to say. Dr. Guarin has said that Dr. Rothenberg is the guy to do it and that he does a great job and doesn't make it so Karson could never vomit again.
So we have to figure some things out. I have to follow up with Dr. Barrios next week with Karson and then talk to Dr. Guarin and find a time to fit seeing a new dr into Kyle's schedule if needed and have a second opinion if needed as well.
Keep Karson in your thoughts. He is a wonderful child!
