The drive to Riley today was filled with shrieked demands of "ba boo!!" but since she can't eat before the procedure, we had to placate her with her favorite stuffed puppy, which mostly worked. This puppy has gone with us to Riley almost every time, so I think we will start calling it the Riley Dog or something like that! She actually fell asleep in the car, which is unusual for her, but when we had to stop for gas she woke up screaming "ba boo!!" all over again. But she quickly found a picture of an apple on the building and started saying "Apple! Apple! Apple!" which actually sounds more like someone holding their tongue with their fingers and saying "Apple."
10:10 AM - We are are Riley Radiology now and her appointment is in 5 minutes.
10:45 AM - All done!! We went down today with the expectation that she would be under anesthesia and would have the tube stuck down her throat with a little bitty camera and they would have a look around. After all, isn't that what gastroscopy usually means?!? Nope, not today! Instead, they gave her some barrium to drink and x-ray'd her while she swallowed it.
The good news is that they did not find any evidence of structural abnormalities in her esophagus or stomach which means she is likely not aspirating her food. Rule that one out.
We have a follow up appointment at the end of May, so I guess we will just wait until then and see what they want to do next.
