Tomorrow morning my Dad will be going in to have a Nissen Fundoplication done. The surgery should take about 3 hours and he should only be in the hospital a couple of days. He can't drive or do much or even eat much for the next few weeks. It should take a about 6 months for him to completely heal, though. The crazy thing is that this is something Sofia's surgeon is having us go in for some more tests to see if she needs it done, too. She is such a Papa's Girl! She is really going to hate that he can't hold her for a while. It is going to be hard. I will update tomorrow when I have a chance. Please say some special prayers for my Dad. God Bless
Love, Catherine

Sam has a Nissen. Thank God for it! He had reflux so severe that he aspirated on stomach secrections 6 times and got pnemonia (all before he was 5 months old). The nissen has changed his life although he still wretches and tries to throw up (which is horrible) but I think that's just because he never actually had food in his stomach until he was about 7 months old. He was feed through the intestinces a J-tube that was sown in. Anyway, I'll be thinking of your dad. Jennie Gibson
