Aaron had his Gastric Emptying Study this morning. We had to be at the hospital at 7:30 am. The test was supposed to last for 4 hours. They gave him Pediasure with some radioactive agent mixed in so they could see the mixture move through his body. He had to drink 6 oz within 10 minutes. Aaron was unable to do that. He rarely drinks more than on ounce at one time. It takes him about an hour to drink 6-7 ounces and that is if we are right there coaxing him to drink. He drank less than 1/2 ounce so they sent us home. We are waiting for Dr M to decide what to do next. I dont want to put him through a surgery ans I am worried about him pulling out the tube but I really think it is what is best for him.
