Have ALOT to update but for now...Sam had his 6th scope on Monday, 3/7 at MGH Boston. I have to say I was very impressed how Sam did before the scope. I actually went in with Steve this time to the procedure room and helped with putting him to sleep. It was tough but Steve said MUCH better than last time! We laid him back first to put the mask on which he ended up pulling off at one point (strong bugger)! Finally we all got quiet and I sang twinkle twinkle as he went out. He slept for a WHILE afterwards and woke up looking around followed by getting very upset. The nurse said this is actually very common with most kids until they are older and there's not much else we can do about it. He almost pulled the IV out and we finally just strapped him into the stroller and booked it out of there! Once we got the car moving he calmed down. He vomited a few times after drinking his formula and juice but was fine afterwards and napped 2 hours.
LOVE LOVE LOVE his GI doc and love that he does the scope every single time! We told him how he's hardly been eating so we shall see what the biopsies say. Probably won't know til Friday the results. I have a feeling they will be clear and this is just a phase he's going through with food. We shall see!
Thanks for listening and for your continued support!
Will update another time about changes coming up with Sam turning 3 on March 29th! He will be starting FULL day preschool through our town with services for speech, occupational therapy and ABA (applied behavioral analysis)! yikes!! He's not a baby anymore but will always be my baby!! xo
