Scope test

Bayli had to have a scope done on April 21. They are checking to see if she really does have acid reflux or if her problems are just side effects of all her meds. It was her first time being put to sleep, which makes mom a little nervous, but we made it through it just fine. TC Thompsons is a great childrens hospital and the staff is wonderful. The happy juice before the iv and surgery made her all melty into the bed and giggly. They attached what is called a BRAVO (don't know what it stands for if anything) to the bottom of her esophagus and took some biopsies. She had a monitor to wear for 48 hours that the BRAVO transmitted data to wirelessly during that time. How cool is that! And the BRAVO thing will just let go and pass on through :) I think she helped it on down when she swallowed a whole piece of candy Friday evening! She had an allergic reaction to the glue on the heart monitor pads that meant a little extra time in recovery and a few days for her spots to go away. She was funny! She was trying to talk, but you could not understand anything she was saying, but water. She had no idea what she was doing and had yet to open her eyes, but the third time she asked for water and hadn't received it yet she growled "GET ME A GLASS OF WATER NOW!" I actually think her head spun around. I busted out laughing and mom nearly peed her pants. Once we got her a drink of water the growly monster slept for like 2 hours.
