2/1- Hurry up and wait...

We were told at 1:30 yesterday to come in to the hospital as soon as possible so they could start getting some work done on Anya. We checked in to the ED at 3:30 and were finally seen at 5:30. After several attempts to place her IV, they finally got it in about 45 minutes later. Then we waited another couple hours in the ER and finally got a room upstairs at around 9:30. Even though she was rehydrated with the IV, they wanted to keep her overnight so they could do an Upper GI first thing in the morning.

Well first thing in the morning has come and gone and at around 11:15 we're told they can't fit her in the schedule today, so it will be first thing tomorrow morning... just hang out here for while... The good news is we may get to see Anya's metabolic docs a month early when they do rounds.

So now we have the upper GI scheduled for 8:30am. It is likely they will find her Nissen (tightened esophagus surgery she had done when she was 5 days old) had slipped and they will need to redo it. This doen't really explain why she is vomiting but it will explain why she can vomit. With a Nissen you shouldn't be able to vomit at all.

They also mentioned doing a PH probe study to check for reflux. I'm not sure if they just weren't aware that she's already had that or if they wanted to repeat it. Last time it showed 'no reflux'.

All in all, she's doing well and she'll be fine.
