We found out this morning that Gabrielle is scheduled for an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EDG) and Bronchoscopy at 10:30 this morning. The EGD is an examination of the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum with a small camera (flexible endoscope) which is inserted down the throat. They are looking for inflammation from reflex and/or to see why she is refluxing still. The Bronchoscopy is being done to look at her lungs and to see if they can collect and identify any bacteria that may be in her lungs. The Bronchoscopy is only being done since she will already be sedated.
I will try to send a more detailed update tonight.
Leaving everything in God’s Hands,
Jeff, Ashley, and Gabrielle
