terrible tummy pain, overwhelming nausea, sprints to the bathroom after each time eating, trying to make it before he vomits and his eating has dropped off to almost nothing. Please, please let these tests show why. I hate seeing my little guy, who never complains of pain, in such a state.The kids were such troopers. Beans knows the routine all too well. See his look of "whatever, here we go again?" :P
He was quite happy when anesthesiology decided he could wait until he was asleep using the gas before they placed the IV this time. The IV is his biggest issue with any hospital stay/procedure. I'm quite glad they waited since it took them 3 sticks before they got one to stay.
Brothers waiting their turnBeans scope went great, his insides look wonderful and as long as the biopsies come back clean - HE GETS TO START FOOD TRIALS!!!! OMG this is the best news he could have possibly gotten. He can't wait to be allowed to start trying foods. The process is painfully slow, one food at a time for weeks at a time, but he doesn't care - he'll get to eat!
Little Man went next, and because of his tummy troubles, he had to have the IV placed before he went back. He too was so brave. The first stick went right in...and then right back out. The nurse said his veins were so crooked in his hands that the IV wouldn't stay. I haven't heard of crooked veins before, but whatever. :p She did the second stick in his elbow and that one behaved itself and stayed in place. All this with no tears, not even a flinch from Mr. Braveness.
They took him back as soon as Beans was finished. Everything went well with him too. His esophagus looked surprisingly good, his stomach wrap is still in tact, though we won't know if it's actually functional until the impedence probe test is read. He woke up calm and oriented and such a good kid. He didn't try to pull the tube out once.
Now he's supposed to eat, drink and play like normal until tomorrow afternoon when they'll take it out. We should have the results next week sometime. Then we should know if he's looking at a repeat Nissen or if his tummy trouble is from something else.
Here's the bravest kid ever with his probe in place and little black box on the strap. His constant companions until tomorrow and he's handling them so well.
WTG Kiddos!!! You did awesome!!
