Luke and I made it back to Cha Am on Friday afternoon after two grueling days in Bangkok.
The short answer is that he has confirmed reflux but no anatomical abnormalities. This is a good thing and it could have been much worse. The doctor believes that since his reflux went untreated for so long his esophagus is inflamed. Irritated. And possibly has some ulcers.
Hard as that is to hear it explains a lot. Like his reluctance to eat solid foods.
We are looking at probably six months of reflux medicine and a slow improvement. I wish this would all be over sooner than later but that might not be the case. It'll just take a while for his esophagus to heal. But at least we are on the right track
I haven't been blogging since I only have Internet access through my phone right now. Will try to get back to some more consistent updates soon ;)
