2X4 Piece of Wood

What a day it has been at the hospital. Braylin has had eating problems...we have tried every formula that is made and all of them hurt her tummy within a couple days or weeks. After many doctors appointments, the doc said she needed to have an upper GI exam. Sounded simple at the time but then it turned into checking her in at the hospital, no food, and a big machine. We got to the hospital, checked in and waited and waited and waited. The wait seemed forever with a baby girl who had not eaten since 6am (they would not let us feed her until after the exam) and a tired girl who could not sleep for all the people in the ER. Finally, we make it back to the exam room. Undressed her and handed her to the technician who strapped her to a 2X4 piece of wood. Yes, strapped her...her arms were out and she was smiling, all seemed good so far. Then they strapped her arms above her head and tilted her sideways and were wanting her to drink a bottle of liquid so they could see it in her tummy. This is when Mommy had to step back and hold in the tears and let Daddy be the strong one. After the exam, Braylin was unstrapped and smiling bigger than ever! All in all everything looked fine so far and Braylin was strong! We were dismissed and able to feed her...that made for a very happy baby!
