CD i have no idea what its actually called, but in simple terms, his throat is closing up. mieow may know more. i'm pretty useless with this stuff. but 18months ago, b4 the 1st op took place he lost loads of weight very quickly as he wasnt able to keep food down. the put a tube down and streatch his throat so he could eat, but now its closing again.

2005 off to a hitty start, poor nephew as well. oh and dad as well soon.

does this mean i have to have an op to keep up?

OP posts:
HunkerMunker · 31/01/2005 22:42

Poor Mieow's DS too - here's some hugs just for him (nothing serious I hope, hun?)

sparklymieow · 31/01/2005 22:43

he has an adult form of reflax, his tube to his tummy was closing up, they put a balloon down and widen the throat, but it started closing again and he is unable to keep the food down, so they are now going to open him and cut a piece out and reconnect the tube.

sparklymieow · 31/01/2005 22:46

DS need to have his tenons sorted, and when i read up about it, it said that it needs MONTHS of recovery!!
