We got to Spokane and Hannah did really well considering for the x-rays. She had an emptying study done and not an upper GI, I think that is the next one depending on what we see. They fed her a sandwich with a small amount of "tracers" in it and then bundled her to a board, with her arms being the only thing she could move and then "sandwiched" between to x-ray scanners and watched what her stomach did for an hour. Yeah I said an hour of being restrained, not really that fun for little girl! It was so sad, she was crying and upset.
She performed well for the x-ray however and she threw up twice for them so they got it! I am just hoping that they have a solution for us on how to stop the spitting up and vomit once and for all. No one should consider it normal or standard to have your almost 2 year old vomit 1-2 times a week just because!
Hannah threw up in her bed Monday night, I went in and she stands completely still. she shows me it by pointing and asked for her juice. I took off her clothing, wiped her up, she is getting good at not getting much on herself, and then I wipe up her bedding to remove chunks and then change out her sheet. she missed her blanket so she got to keep that. She laid down and went right back to sleep like nothing happened. This should not be a norm, but I know it all to well. She has been watched by a dear friend through lunch time and was fed Mac and cheese. Because the mac and cheese was not chopped up, and she got too much, (things I forgot to tell her to do) I knew that there was a high chance that Hannah was going to throw it up at bedtime, so again I was not surprised. I just want it to get better so that we can be less familiar with barf in the future.
