The gastro enterologist left Dina a voicemail with the results. The results were surprisingly good. Ethan apparently has what is considered to be a normal amount of reflux for a typical 4 month old (actually, his results were on the high end of normal, but still within the "normal" range). Given this, he said he is even more reluctant now to suggest a Nissen but will consult with the other doctors (his primary (cranialfacial) pediatrician and the general surgeon (who would be doing the actual g-tube or any other related surgery)).
We have yet to actually discuss the results and a course of action with the doctors but this gives us hope that a straight forward g-tube insertion is the most likely plan of action.
This is probably the first bit of good news that didn't come with any caveats since he was born.
