July 6, 2011
Rory had her upper GI contrast yesterday. This time they fed the barium liquid straight down her nosetube into her stomach. We don’t have any results yet because the doctors wanted to see the barium travel through her entire system. This meant collecting X-rays throughout the day/night, with the last one this morning. So far nothing has come out the back end, so maybe they’ll be able to pinpoint where it’s being hung up. Another possibility is that she may simply have an immature bowel (like preemies) that moves really slowly. Corrective surgery for obstructions or twisted intestines, medication and patience for immature bowels. I like the latter at this point.
