Barium Boy

Hayes slept all night long (yippee!!) in her big girl bed and we actually woke her up at 7:15 since Tori was coming to watch her while we were at the hospital with Hatch. We are curious, what time would she have woken up on her own. She was snoozing hard!

Hatcher couldn't eat after 4:45 but he woke up at 3:30 this morning so he had a long time to wait before his procedure at 8:45. Poor guy didn't understand why we didn't feed him when he cried, he was especially confused when mommy held him but didn't nurse him. He was such a good boy when it was his turn for the x-rays. Hatcher doesn't like bottles, plain and simple and he usually only gets two - three per month. He was starving by 9:00 when the nurse gave him the barium and he gulped it down. The HUGE amount of Hershey's strawberry syrup she mixed with the barium didn't hurt. It really was a huge amount for a small bottle, enough that Craig and I both looked at each other with wide eyes!

We are so pleased to report that Hatcher only has acid reflux and nothing more severe. Craig and I are counting our blessings after seeing other children waiting in the radiology area with much more than just acid reflux. We are hoping his new medicine helps and that he outgrows this soon. He sure was wiped out and this is what he did most of the day upon our return...

Our tired little man!

We love you Hatcher!!
