Good morning. To get right down to it, last week was terrible for my son and I.

On Monday, I left work early cause he called me saying that he was vomiting.

That night around 8 pm he was admitted in the hospital since I took him to the

ER earlier that day. He didnt eat anything until Tuesday evening around 7 pm and

then he had a chest x-ray on Wednesday, the doctors nor the nurses did anything

to comfort us. It was like we were there just living while waiting on them to

say something or do something. Finally Wednesday at 6:30 pm the surgeon that I

had been requesting to see came to the room. We talked about the options and

what he thought was best, he did the heller on my son in 2007 only opening the

top of his esophagus, now he wants to do the same to the bottom. Dr. Schindler

also suggested I go ahead with the dilation on Thursday for some relieve for now

at 40 cm ( the adult level). That took place on at noon followed by a barium

swallow to make

sure no holes were in the esophagus. Friday morning my son was vomiting again,

he only had jello and gatarade to drink but that came up because the barium was

still sitting there. By Friday evening after another x-ray it showed that it had

moved down into his intestines good sign. Saturday we left the hospital waiting

now for a motility test and the follow up visit next week. What does the

motility test prove? His esophagus is already damaged from 17 dilations.
