Luke had another good day today. I held him for awhile today and it was pretty quiet in the NICU, I could of fallen asleep. Luke surprised me again today, he lifted his head up and turned it the other direction, he did this the other day with me too. I guess he's got a favorite side already.
Tomorrow is a big day for Luke, he will have the upper GI test. It is another dye test. They follow the dye as he digests it with a sequence of periodic x-rays. If he has a narrow passage in his intestines it's possible the dye will help widen it, which would be great, no surgery to correct it. Depending on how long it takes for him to digest it, we may not find out the results until Tuesday.
Althouh it's hard for Jeremy and I to see Luke go through so much testing, we are glad that the doctors are taking this precaution before feeding him again. His tummy is still distended and if he's fed and the food doesn't pass he becomes really uncomfortable. Plus his tummy puffs up even more, which pushes on his lungs and he ends up needing a bit more oxygen. One thing effects the other...
We'll report what the test results when we find out and stay tuned for his latest statistics, they check these each Sunday night.
Hope everyone's had a nice Sunday.
