Another Friday . . . Another Dilatation

Kiera has been showing several signs that her esophagus needs another stretch.  These symptoms include bubbly saliva around her lips, gagging on this saliva, and coughing/retching of saliva.  In addition, she was drinking a few milliliters of water in August and now refuses water altogether -- crying and turning away when I bring it to her lips.  Kiera's dilatation is scheduled for Friday, September 24, 2010 at 7:45 am.
