Gastric study

     Of course, here we are, in the hospital, and he has had a great day.  GI has been consulting with our cardiac team to try to figure out why he's been refluxing terribly since after the Glenn surgery, and retching for the last few weeks.  They stopped Erithromiacin last night in prep for today's Gastric Empty Study.  They gave him radioactive material in his formula through his g-tube and watched it every 10 minutes through a nuclear study.  He did amazing the entire hour and a half thanks to watching Elmo!  
He's been his super fun, silly personality today-- which is so great.
      Results just came back and said that his motility is normal-  wonderful news-- but now what?!?!?  Hopefully can figure him all out tomorrow.  :)
