Halfway Through

Jayden's Upper Gi came back completely normal today, which is fabulous. It means he does not have anything from the outside pushing on his airways (any growths or tumors). We tried to do the sweat test, but the think he was too dehydrated from not eating before the upper GI because he didn't have enough sweat to test. The doctors are thinking more and more that cystic fibrosis is not the cause of his medical issues, but still want him tested.

We just entered the period of his no eating for the procedures later today. He is on his IV fluids, but it's difficult for babies to understand why they can't eat when they are hungry. He will not be a happy baby come morning, but pray they can get him in the OR early. Also pray for the anesthesiologist and all the doctors who will be looking at his airways. He will have three procedures done and then they may take some biopsies as well to test, especially if they see any abnormalities.

I will update more as more test results come in.
