The upper gi was completely traumatic. They strapped her to a board. Turned her on her side and tried to get her to drink barium from a bottle. She wouldn't take the bottle because she was livid. They proceeded to take a syringe and squirt it in her mouth. Not only was it nectar thick and room temperate (and we told them five times she required chilled syrup) but they were squirting so much in at a time that she was starting to gurgle and choke. Poor poor baby...
The anes. appointment was very frustrating and annoying. The end result however was the papers were signed, risks were assessed, and we got the tentative go ahead for surgery on Thursday.

Poor D! What a trooper putting up with all of that - I can't believe they didn't listen to you about the syrup. Wait, no, I can. :(
That poor sweet little peanut. They couldn't give her anything to calm down. damn. I would have had to leave. no, I wouldn't want to leave her side. jeeze, you'd think they would have done enough of those to know what works and doesn't. I'm so sorry you were all put through that.
So she's getting the feeding tube huh ? I hope this helps fill her little tummy up.
Lots of strength for all of you !
Can't believe how much this child has gone through. I'm thinking of you guys so much today. xoxo
