Grace's upper GI went okay. Our appointment was at eight in the morning and they took her back about half hour after we arrived.

She had a great time smiling and laughing at everyone in the waiting room, and I think it's because she thought she was in a restaurant (the only other place we have taken her that was very crowded with people sitting in a small space). When we took her back to the procedure room, she quickly got a little nervous. The test was basically a series of x-rays while she drank a bottle of Barium. She drank enough of the Barium that they could get the photos, but she didn't like laying down on her back at all. The radiologist said it looked fine to him, but the doctor has the final read.

So now we wait and hear from the doctor the results of this test and the poop test.

We also need to get her blood tested to see if there's anything we missed in that area, or if the vomitting is just her being a baby.

Off to bed, LONG day. I think we are all glad we got through this and it wasn't invasive as we feared.

Thanks so much for the comments and encouragement. *hugs*

I am so happy that the appointment went okay. Let's hope that the doctor agrees with the radiologist! Hope Gracie is feeling 100% in no time.

I'm so glad that she was fine through the appointment. Hope the doctor agrees and she's healthy. Keep us updated.

Glad it went well. One clarification though - the radiologist IS a doctor (I am a Radiologist). As long as the radiologist said things look ok then that's the end of it for the upper GI part of the work-up. There will be no other "final read" (other than the pediatrician maybe reading you the report the radiologist sent them). The radiologists report is the final read. Don't stress about going to your pediatrician and getting some sort of surprise bad news that the radiologist didn't tell you about - if he said it's fine then it's fine.
