Faith's Hiatal Hernia is back...

We spent the day downtown yesterday for 2 doctor appointments and x-rays of her chest and upper GI. Turn's out Faith's hiatal hernia is back again, although the doctor said it is pretty small right now and he does not want to operate on it yet. Instead of doing surgery the doc wants us to manage it by decreasing the amount of her feedings and adding another feeding time (basically keeping her total calories the same but spreading it out more over the day). He said the surgery can hopefully wait 2-3 years as long as she is not having significant symptoms, which she is not for now anyway. I'm glad this can wait, I just don't want to put her through this surgery for the 3rd time right now. I'm not sure why but getting news like this really depresses me. I think it's because she already needs so many surgeries that adding one more to the list, even small ones like this are upsetting. I'm sure I'll bounce back in a couple days, but just needed to vent about it.
All for now.
