Tyce's Endoscopy

This morning was Tyce's endoscopy. He was such a good boy all morning even though he couldn't eat or drink anything. When we got back to the prep room Tyce was super cooperative and cute. All the hospital staff thought he was just the cutest thing ever (his hair was a huge hit) so they kept on stopping by to give him stickers and dolls, too cute. He kept saying, my be brave mommy my be brave...

Then we went back to the procedure room where they started hooking him up to all sorts of things and he was NOT happy! He was scared and crying, it was so sad When I laid him down for the anesthetic he freaked out so we had to hold him down while he fell asleep, which absolutely broke my heart. I made it out of the room before I started bawling. About 15 minutes later they came and got me so I could be there when he woke up. Here's my baby fast asleep... He slept for quite a while and then his heart rate started racing and his oxygen level started dropping. The nurse got worried, hooked him up to oxygen, and started rubbing his back hard to wake him up. That lasted about 3-5 minutes, I was so scared. Eventually his oxygen level went back up and they took off the oxygen and he woke up. He was happy to cuddle his mommy... The results of the endoscopy? They didn't SEE anything wrong, but we'll get the biopsy results in a week or two. The doctor was a jerk, in fact, every GI doctor I've met with has been a jerk. I feel like they think nothing is wrong with Tyce and I'm just there for fun. My baby is waking up at night in pain, that is not normal!!!


When we came home Tyce was so excited to eat his oatmeal. He loves his yellow hospital gown, which they let him take home because he was so cute, and wanted to keep it on.

I was hoping he would nap this afternoon because we'll be out late tonight looking at Christmas lights but I think his snooze at the hospital was enough for him. He's doing pretty good now, although he's had diarrhea three times since we got back. I'm so frustrated, guess we'll wait for the biopsy results and go from there!
