Vincent had a rough morning. He was scheduled for an Upper GI, because he still continues to have lots of wet wet burps...or lots of little cases of vomitting. He had to be NPO for 5 hours prior...which basically meant since last night, since he doesn't eat during the night anymore. I put him to be late last night with one more feeding trying to help the little guy out. We went and checked in what was suppose to be 30 minutes early. We arrived and gave Vincent's name...and they had no clue what was going on. Of course when Vincent's nurse at the doctor's office called and informed us of this appointment. I just made sure it was the Medical Center where we had insurance...I wasn't concerned with the doctor...which I have now learned...I need to write all details down. The lady at the check in desk made many many phone calls to different areas in the hospital, different doctors and then finally different hospitals to see if the appointment happened to be there. After a long long time...Outpatient radiology called them to ask if we had checked in since we were now an hour and half late for our appointment...So yes we did get it done. Vincent finally got to eat some yummy contrast at ten till 11 am. So nearly 13 hours NPO. The radiologist informed us that everything appears normal in her department...so no surgery needed to fix his puking. She did say that he empties a little slow...but that shouldn't cause all his puking. So we will wait until Dr. Paradis calls to ask more questions. He was tuckered out after this, but just for a short time.
