GI

This morning Ian had his Upper GI we survived the 6hrs prior without any food.  He did wake up at 6 (his appt wasn't till 9:30a) very upset and when I brought him out to the living room he walked into the kitchen and was standing next to his highchair wanting to get in and pointing to our pantry.  I got him distracted with his toys for a while but that only lasted for about 15min.  The sun was up and the temps were mild so we got changed and hit the road for a run.  That adventure brought us to 7:15ish, if I could've I would have ran till 9 and then gone but who wants a sweaty mom in their room.  He did end up laying down till it was time to leave for his appt.

We of course get there on time and we of course are left to wait till 10 we have now made it 14hrs without food or drink.  Luckily Ian was in a great mood, we finally get called back 45min after our appt time.  The tech that took us back got Ian's sippy all set to go while I got Ian change into a little gown (pictures are on my phone), the tech left to get the Radiology doctor and said to hold off on letting Ian have any...really you're now going to tell a 16mos old who hasn't had anything to eat or drink for now almost 15hrs who just saw his cup that he can't have it. Thank you!  Radiology guy comes in we chit chat and then he gives Ian the go ahead and drink up.   But of course Ian gets drink shy and can;t drink while strangers are around staring him...so the radiology guys go out in the hallway and wait....my thought is why couldn't they give Ian this beverage while we were in the waiting room then we could've go back into the room gotten xrays and been done.  But whatever Ian got about half of cup down and they went ahead and started the xrays.  I have to hold down his upper body and the tech guy held down his legs they took xrays from the front and back Ian was a trooper.  They saw no reflux so now I will wait to hear something from our Dr.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts!!

  1. oh yeah. that's what Carter had done. except he did have reflux. it's a good thing Ian didn't. what a relief. so maybe he's just being a picky eater and he'll grow out of it. best of luck to you!

  2. Thinking about you guys. Any word on what could be the cause of Ian's troubles?
