Dr's Visits

Our first week was filled with three Dr. visits--each of which was challenging in its own way.


1. GI Dr. We met with our Pediatric Gastrointerologist and devised a plan of tests so that we can gain a better understanding of Jaxon's esophagus and what limitations he might have.


2. Pediatrician Wt: 27.4 pounds, 35 inches--overall healthy


3. GI Series--Today we took Jax down to the medical center for him to swallow some yummy apple flavored chalky barium stuff. The Radiology Dept. had a great play area, so little man was very happy prior to 'apple flavored chalky barium stuff'. Unfortunatley, the happiness only lasted until we walked into the radiology room. Little man freaked out, refused to drink the yummy concoction by straw, sippy, bottle or syringe. Long story short, we had to insert a tube down his nose and into his esophagus and insert the barium that way. It was horrible in every manner both for him and us. Luckily, they were able to get good pictures.










He slept for three hours post torture.



Next week he goes in for a Ph test. And from what we hear, it will be so horrible that it will make today seem like a piece of cake. Stay tuned.
