Great, now Gut Girl is also Barium Baby!!
Hopefully the series of x-rays (the pros call them pictures, or radiographs, by the way) will show that the liquid is moving through her stomach, through the small portion of her small intestine (which is actually quite wide now), through the anastomosis ( the fancy word for the repaired spot in her gut and into her large intestine. This will show whether there is a blockage in the pipes and may tell us why her feeding isn't progressing like it should.
The bright side is that this evening, Abby, her nephew Alex, her niece Claire, and I will be walking up Brookline Avenue to visit mecca for a period of homage to the baseball gods as my Boston Red Sox and Ace pitcher Curt Schilling take on the Baltimore Orioles!!! Sunny and warm for an evening of baseball. Who said this hospital thing was all bad?? Heckuva way to get to a ballgame, though.
Abby's sisters (Karen is in town from Ohio to visit the baby) will be coming in tonight to watch Ellie while we go and I will be on the pullout in the hospital tonight. No cold beers for this kid, I guess.
But I get to sit in the grand stand and watch a ball game.

And you can walk to the game?
Mecca indeed.
Have fun. You guys have earned it.
