Huddy's test

Hudson had to have a test done today due to his spit up issue. The machine looks a lot worse than it actually was...he even fell asleep for a little while under it (as you can see in the pictures). They put on Baby Einstein for him, which he loved. He was very sweet and patient under the machine (he was there for 40 minutes) and the techs all mentioned how good natured he is (I am sure they were not thinking that during the fit he threw when they were trying to give him the sugar water).

The point of the test was to determine how long it was taking for food to empty out of his tummy. They wanted to see at least 50% out of him within a hour. They let us go early because it seemed like he was stomach was doing what it was supposed to be doing. We are waiting for the official word, but it does look like he has reflux. Hopefully, the medicine he is on will take care of that and he will eventually outgrow it. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers!

Awww! Bless his sweet little heart. I can not imagine how difficult that was to watch your sweet baby sleeping there under that big machine. He looks so peaceful and calm. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers ><>
