Update on little Emma's tests

This afternoon we went to Rady Children's Hospital for Emma's Ultrasound and X-Ray.
We were really dreading this trip, but everyone there was so friendly, it made us much more at ease.

First they did an Ultrasound of Emma's belly. She was a wiggle worm and it was hard to keep her still. The tech has done this a time or two, because she put down two stickers to distract Emma and they worked wonderfully.

Then we went in for her x-ray and it started out ok, until they put in her catheter, then it was terrible to watch Emma cry. She was so sad and she even cried so hard she almost fell asleep. They injected the dye into the catheter and watched it on the screen. The Dr. said that she didn't notice any signs of Reflux. That was music to our ears! This was just the preliminary reading, we have to wait to get the official reading from Dr. McCormick, but so far it is great news!

The poor kiddo was a little tuckered out on the car ride home.


She didn't seem to be too phased by today, because she is just as chipper and cute as ever.
She cracked us up. We were watching Yo Gabba Gabba and she was obviously very entertained. We couldn't get enough of her giggle, so luckily this was on DVR so we played it over and over with giggles every time.
