April 13, 2011 Rylee scope procedure was at 1:45 p.m. Dr. Noel informed us that she would probably have to have bands. He said that it is very uncommon on a 2nd scope to not have bands. The procedure took about 45 minutes. They banded only 3 varices and her spleen has shrunk!!! Yes, great news. He said that they really did not even have to band but decided to do so because one of the varices was a little "suspicious" to bleed if they waited. Rylee did not handle the prep for the procedure well this time. She knew what to expect and she is very tired of it all already. She fought me and the nurses on everything!!! Of course things got better once her daddy arrived! We stayed in ICU for the night and she has done so well that they are releasing us straight from here today. Her next scope will be in 3 weeks with her follow up with GI and Hematologist in two weeks. Keep the prayers coming!!!
