So even after his surgery it seemed as though Bridger was still refluxing and that he was in the 5% of patients that the surgery had not been successful. On Thursday he had another upper GI study which showed that the Nissan is intact. However he has slowed motility in his esophagus and is still having severe pain from something, but we don't know what. Bridger is unable to have a scope of his throat due to the Nissan (he cannot expel the air that would be injected) so we can't look for esophageal trauma. So for now the doctors have to go through the process of elimination. He also is not shedding fluid very well because of his heart function which is causing him to work harder while breathing. He is trying so hard, we hope sometime soon he can have a little normalcy in his life.

Dear Danny and Staci,
As always, you are always in my prayers. I don't know why, but some miracles take a little longer.
