He's practicing for tomorrow at the hospital....



Not really...Tomorrow Andrew is having his upper GI. This is where he will not be put to sleep but he will need to be restrained. They will place a tube down his throat and pour some white , chalky substance that has barium in it. Then as it goes down they take pictures and will be able to get a better look at his reflux issues. I am not looking forward to this procedure at all. He will be screaming I am sure the whole time and will be moving around as much as the restraints will let him. He is very strong...sometimes just to brush his teeth it takes 4 of us. He is the strongest willed child I have ever seen...So how positive tomorrow will be depends on his mood. Now even in a great mood most of us would not be very happy about this procedure...add to this a little blind boy who is autistic, with sensory processing issues and has a history of severe abuse...Please pray for us. At least they agreed to let me be in the room with him during it...because there is no way we would agree to it if they did not let me be there.
