Endoscopy & Ph 1st Test on May 3rd | Procedure for Ph Test
We have scheduled Chase's endoscopy for Monday, May 3rd at 9am. His reflux has increased so we are looking for anything that will explain what is going on.
Procedure: A microscope will be used to look down his throat and into his stomach, and they will probably do a small biopsy of the stomach and duodenum (first section of the small intestine). He will be under general anesthesia for the procedure. While he is under, they will insert a probe into his stomach through his nose to measure ph levels. The probe will stay in for 12 hours and the top part will be taped to his cheek to try to prevent him from pulling at it. I will remove the probe at home after the 12 hours. for more...
