Aidan's GI Appt


Well we traveled up to Birmingham today to the Children's Hospital to see a new GI and it was worth the trip. The whole facility was so nice and the Dr and staff were fabulous. They performed an upper GI which despite Aidan spitting most of the barium all over the staff and room were able to tell that his wrap is still intact and doing its job. He is red from head to toe from the fruit punch flavored barium. Other then his spitting escapades he did really well and flirted with all the staff. The Dr. thinks that his pain is from constipation and so we are changing up some meds and also she is sending us to a feeding therapist because he is losing weight from not eating. We will re-evaluate in 6 weeks and if no progress then we will consider other meds to increase his appetite and do some further testing like a Bravo probe or more motility testing. For now that makes sense and I am thanking God that we are not looking at another surgery in our near future. Thanks to everyone who was praying for us today. As you can see by the picture Aidan was exhausted from all the fun and flirting. He slept the whole way home. Now it is off to give this monster a bath and get all the barium out of his hair and off his skin.
