Addison's GI Follow Through

Addison's tummy has continued to give her troubles these past few weeks.  Her colonoscopy showed that she has inflammation in her stomach as well has her intestines.  Addison's doctor also saw a portion of her intestines were deformed.  She ordered a GI follow through to make sure that everything was traveling properly. 
Monday morning Addison and I arrived at the hospital to have the procedure done.  Addison had to fast over twelve hours for this test and she was a champ.  Addison had to drink barium (they added chocolate) and she hates the taste and texture.  The last time she had this test we had to stick a tube down her nose to her stomach.  Lucky for all involved we didn't have to go that route this time!!   
The doctor saw Addison refluxing while drinking and we will get the final write up in a few weeks.
Addison did a great job and was thrilled to be eating lunch once the test was finished :)
