Trip to the G.I. Dr

Broc's reflux is getting so bad that something needs to be done.So we called the G.I. Dr asked him what we should do.We explained that he was having a heart procedure done in a week or so and that he needed something to help him feel better.

Broc and I took the long 3.5 hour trip to Riley Hospital to see dr. He listened to all of Broc's history and said that he should have outgrown reflux by now if he was, but some kids never outgrow it. He has increased his meds and given him another one too.He also suggested a barium study and a upper GI scope. He said that he would speak to the cardiac surgeon and see if they can do the scope while he is under for the cath. I was really happy with that as the less amount of times that he has to go under the better.

We did the scope the following week and he was such a champ.I was so proud of him.He had not eaten since the night before.10am came and went and he was getting really cranky.We went in shortly after that.

They radiologist said to him that he had a milk shake for him to drink.I think Broc was so happy that someone was giving him a drink that he accepted.He drank everytime they told him to.I was so proud of him.

After the test the radiologist said that all his anotomy inside looked really good and that he could not see anything wrong.

Off to buy McDonalds chicken nuggets his favorite.
