Just found the pathology report from the last endoscopy:

" Sections show fragments of squamous mucosa in which there is basa cell

hyperplasia. The papillae extend greater than 50% of the distance tward the

mucosal surface and a mild mononuclear cell inflitrate is present within the

epithelium. Occassional eosinophils are noted!!!! "

Maybe this is the underlying problem?? At any rate, Dr. J. is right on with

the pulmicort and nasal sprays. I wonder if fungus has been part of the

problem.

I was getting so pissed off reading Ferenci's reports. He said he thought

Jamey's problem started as reflux, but he continued to ruminate because he

likes the taste of food. It makes me sick.

I swear if one more Dr. treats his care like that, I'll be ballistic.
