From Steph and Jeff: As of last week Amelia was up to 13 on 4 ounces and has reached the 3rd percentile! All else was good and they were very pleased with how she looked and acted. Yesterday Amelia had an upper GI test and a swallow study to see how the hernia at the top of her stomach has progressed. It was clear that what was swallowed went down the right tube and not her airway. The hernia looks worse when compared to the last upper GI. The esophagus is having trouble draining into the stomach which could be cause for her gagging. She will most likely need surgery. Here she is pictured with mama Steph.
