We had Jonah's gut motility test this morning and he was a CHAMP! The actual test took a full hour during which Jonah had to keep very still. Impossible! you might say, Thats what I thought until they brought out the sand bags! Yep, those white pillow cases over his arms and legs are filled with sand. Then to top it off he was Velcroed to the table. Luckily Jonah was very sleepy from staying up until midnight last night and slept through most of the test. After the test we went up to the 2nd floor to see Dr. Meyers (Jonah's Surgeon). She reviewed the test results from both tests and said that everything was pretty normal. She said that Jonah's tummy took 37 minutes to empty half way where as for you and I it would only take 20 minutes. So it is a little on the slow side but not enough to warrant medical intervention. We are supposed to burp his g-tube often and keep his feed set for an hour rather than 30 minutes. ...So, very good news!!! Jonah's new crib is ...
