It broke my heart for them to have to tape him down but I guess what other option do they have for a one year old. I told them he had a temper like a wildcat so they better add extra tape. Once he threw his RENO fit he quickly got his thumb in his mouth, watched the Wiggles and slept through the whole test. THANK GOD. For the most part he did really well considering he wasn't able to eat before the test so needless to say when it was all said and done he was quite happy to get some food. In order to do the test he had to drink milk with some type of radioactive in it and lay on the table for a hour while it measures how long it takes to empty out. Well the normal is 50% in a hour and 75% in 2 hours. Needless to say we only emptied 9% the first hour and after a hour break and then back on the table we still only emptied a total of 30%. Afterwards we headed to the GI doctor to discuss the results. He said he wanted to keep Kason on the Prevacid for a month and that sometimes if a child has gotten a stomach virus that it can paralyze your stomach to were it takes awhile to wake back up and empty correctly. He was very happy to hear Kason hadn't thrown up since Friday. He wants me to watch him for another month and see what happens and then come back in for a checkup. Hopefully it will be the results on the stomach virus so Kason doesn't have to be on full time medication.
We have a busy next couple of days ahead of us as we get ready to move back into our house. Please continue to keep me and Kason in your prayers as we make the transition back into our house.

Bless his heart. He looks so sad laying there with that tape on him. I pray his tummy gets back to normal so he will not have to be on the medicine very long!
