The test results are in...

And Ryan does have Acid Reflux.

Friday we went to Yale to have the upper GI test done. Lloyd got up at 4 in the morning to feed him, and then he could not eat again till the test. We were so worried that he was going to wake up screaming for food. He woke up around 7am and was happy as can be. He did not even start fussing for food until we were at the hospital, about to go in for the test. Even then, we were able to keep him occupied and pretty happy. When we went in for the test, they had to strap him down to the table, which started him crying. I don't blame him, who would want to be strapped down. This of course, bothered me much more then him. I sat and held his hand, trying to distract him until they were ready for him to drink the barium. As soon as they gave him the bottle, he was happy. Until they had to take the bottle away and move him to the other side. But then they gave it back and he was ok again. All of a sudden, a few minutes later the dr. said "here it comes" and Lloyd saw everything come back up his esophogus (sp?). Luckily, it came up but not out tha time or we would have had a mess! They called it Acid Reflux and the test was over. They said that they would send the report to our dr. and we could talk to him on Monday.

I called today, but they still don't have the final test results and I have to call back tomorrow (Wed.). I think I am going to try and switch his formula after I talk to the doctor. Right now he is throwing up almost every bottle.

And by the way...like father, like son...Ryan hates Peas! Opens his mouth wide, but when he realizes they are peas, he makes a yucky face and won't eat them. This week, we are trying Squash. Daycare said that he ate an entire jar for lunch yesterday. They said that he loved it so much, he gave it all back to them about 5 minutes later. He is also grabbing the spoon from me and trying to feed himself. What a cutie!

Till next time...
