Josh's Swallow Study Results

I really wish I could say that we had success today... but I can't! I was told kind of what to expect and how this whole test would work. Um... it did NOT happen like I was told. They took us back to the x-ray room to take his medical history, then told me to go back to waiting room while they did the test. I told them I was under the impression I was going to be able to be there to help feed him his bottle and stuff. He won't take a bottle from anyone but me now. So.. to make a long story short.... they sent me out to the waiting room, I waited for a good 25 minutes, and then a Radiologist came out to talk to me. Low and behold Josh did not cooperate and the test was inconclusive. He only swallowed two times, and it was several minutes apart. So the only thing he could tell was that there wasn't an obstruction. Well duh! We never suspected that. So he told me he would tell our Ped. in his report that if the symptoms don't improve over the next 4-6 weeks, he needs to go down to Primary Children's to have them do the test. I regret now not just doing that in the first place. But I really thought we would be able to get enough results here at our hospital and I could avoid another Primary Children's visit. Oh well.... at least now I know. So we are basically right where we started. I called his therapist with the results and she told me she would confer with some other OT's and maybe we can get a new game plan. So we'll see. Thanks for all the love and concern for our little Josh. He is such a trooper!
