Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Rhonda, Abby goes to the Columbus CF Clinic. Abby has had several video swallow tests done. The waiting room is the same for the video swallow and the upper GI patients. I asked a mother in the waiting room, how they do an upper GI test on small kids. She said that they give them something that makes them sleep through the test. The little girl that was waiting for her upper GI test wasn't upset and it was her third test, so... it must not be too bad??? Gale > Columbus just called and said that from Jordan's x-rays from when he was in the hospital that something looked abnormal. They want to do an upper GI on him next month. My question is this... Is that where they run a tube through the mouth? If so how will they accomplish this with a 2 yr old? He will be 2 by them barely. Has anyone been through this type of thing? Any and all help appreciated. They said something about a ring but the dr is foreign and I had a hard time trying to understand him over the phone. Please if anyone knows anything about this test or this ring let me know. Thanks > Rhonda > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
