My daughter Christina (13 years old) will probably be undergoing endoscopy soon. I was wondering if anyone has had this procedure and what types of prophylactic antibiotics and concerns I should have about bleeding. Is it typical to stop taking coumadin for a period of time prior to the procedure. Christina has had endocarditis twice before so understandably we are all nervous about this procedure. Any advice would be most appreciated.
