When AJ began experiencing pain while eating and weight loss as a result, acid reflux seemed like the answer. But as symptoms persisted, AJ's family and care team at Arkansas Children’s worked side by side to uncover the real cause.

What do you do when eating hurts?

In the months leading up to an ER visit, 12-year-old AJ said eating felt “like food was getting stuck, like there was pressure.” The discomfort caused him to eat less, but he stayed active, burning calories faster than he could replace them and causing significant weight loss.

An X-ray at the hospital revealed something rarely seen in children: achalasia, a rare motility disorder that weakens the muscles and nerves needed to eat and drink.

Watch AJ’s journey and learn how a surgical procedure at Arkansas Children’s helped him gain his health, weight and energy back.

When 12-year-old Aaron “AJ” Robinson arrived at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital emergency room with severe chest pain, an X-ray revealed something uncommon in children: achalasia, a rare motility disorder that weakens the muscles and nerves needed to eat and drink.

In the months leading up to his ER visit, AJ said it felt “like food was getting stuck, like there was pressure.” Many conditions, including GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis, share similar symptoms, which can make diagnosis challenging.

Thanks to the quick thinking of AJ’s care team and specialists in our neurogastroenterology and motility program based at Arkansas Children's Northwest, AJ received answers — and a treatment plan — without delay.

Five-year-old Arkansas Children’s patient Josephine (Jojo) Beasley was honored as the at last month’s Arkansas Razorback Men's Basketball game against Jackson State! ❤️🐗🏀

Jojo was transferred to the Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital within her first week of life. Thanks to continuous, specialized care, her neurologist was able to run a genetic test that identified the cause of her seizures: mutations in the SCN2A gene. Once experiencing up to 20 seizures a day, Jojo is now approaching a full year seizure-free and making incredible progress in therapy.

Jojo and her family continue to advocate for awareness of the SCN2A gene and visited the Arkansas State Senate to make SCN2A Day (February 24) a recognized awareness day in Arkansas.

Go Jojo and go Hogs!
