Feeling a little anxious today - I can sense some upcoming medical procedures with Alex. I have noticed him coughing and choking at meals lately, and in his words "throwing up on my tongue" which typically means his reflux is flaring up again. This means going to the hospital to put him under for the procedure to ensure that it is his reflux, then they can start the course of medication which will probably last about 3 months. Just what he needs, more meds on a daily basis!

My other concern is his eyes. He has had 9 eye surgeries so far, I think I mentioned that, and I have noticed he is having trouble seeing again, plus he has told me he sees "the black thing" floating in his eye which they said should have gone away by now. I HATE eye surgeries - too many risks involved and such a long recovery period. After all his procedures I am not even sure how much is left to do to his eyes, let's hope I am just thinking the worst.

Do you remember when you were little and your parents would tell you they would take away the pain or the illness and absorb it themselves, just so you wouldn't have to bear any type of hurt or discomfort? Now I know exactly what they meant...
