Jamison had his GI Series test today and he was the best baby! He couldn't eat anything after 6:30am for the test so I fed him before 6am and the test started at 9:30am. He didn't even fuss very much even though he was really hungry. The GI series was testing for pyloric stenosis or a narrowing of the pyloric muscle that is between the stomach and the small intestines and also any other abnormalities of the upper digestive system. In the test I gave Jamison barium in a bottle and the barium showed up on x-rays as it went through his upper GI system. I happened to know the Doctor and the x-ray tech because I used to work at St Lukes. That definitely helped because the doc told me the results of the tests. He said that everything is normal and he has some reflux so Dr. Brenner may start him on medications. This was great news.
Also Jamison has been really good at night...the other night he slept 8 hours after he ate. He ate at 7pm and woke up at 3am. Last night he slept from 11pm to 4 am. Andy and I both enjoy these extended hours at night. You don't realize how important sleep is when you don't have consecutive hours of sleep. Well I will update you on how this weekend goes...baby's first weekend away from home.
