MG - thakyou so much you have just helped put me at ease so much! i am very emotional about it as my last experience in that hospital was extreely stressful and ended our breastfeeding relationship and started our severe reflux journey, i am currently getting help for PND and this hospital was a major contributor to that so the thought of him having to go back there and go totheatre again just makes me feel really emotional even though i know its for the best and its a very common routine procedure. Thanks again you really have put my mind at ease. he isn't booked in as yet we will get dates after xmas /new year, it will be at Adelaide Womens and Childrens.

scarlett - thanks heaps! i will definately talk to the specialists about getting biopsys for the above mentioned 'things', i have written them down, thanks. Archie was having 10mg of losec tablet a day, 5mg morning and night. Recently we have had to bump it up to 5mg in the morning and 10mg at night and it is only just just controlling it. What was the result from your sons scopes? how is he coping with his reflux now?? i will take your advice and start practising with a mask a few weeks before the big day, DH is an ambo so im sure he can bring home a mask to practice with.

julie - thankyou, i agree it will be far more scary and stressful for me than him, it will probably be a big adventure for him! Do you mind me asking why will had the scope and is he okay now?
