I Am really behind. For anyone who doesn't know Steven has been having odd health problems. Since February Steven has had a odd strider that has been debilitating for him. we have been to countless doctors and many hospital, two EEG stays to trying to find out what is wrong with him. On May 25Th he had a bronchioscope and a super gloteoplasty(spelling?). Which i means they stuck a tube down his throat and looked at his lungs, trachea, bronchi and they took a milometer of tissue from his epiglottis. We thought that fixed it but sadly it has gotten worse. They thought he was having seizures so we did a 3 day EEG( they stick probes on his head and and watch his brain waves). That dint show anything. so we went back to the GI doctor and he has decided that we will do a PH probe on the 19Th of this month(Which means they will stick a probe down his nose in to his stomach and they will monitor his acid leave. If his acid is as bad as they think it is they will another surgery that will in essence will make the opening in the top of his stomach smaller so that not as much acid will get out.
