Mason had his gastric emptying test today. It didn't go as well as we would have liked. After two hours his stomach was only 49% empty. The radiologist didn't know how much it should be empty but said if it was 50% empty at 1 hour we could go home. At one hour she didn't even bother calculating it because she knew it wasn't 50%. He was fed radioactive eggs and then a picture was taken every 15 minutes for the first hour and then at the 2 hour mark. I have a piece of paper stating he is radioactive in case he sets off any alarms in the next three days. Right before the picture at the 2 hour mark he told me he was hungry even though half his lunch was still in his stomach. We have the follow up appointment on Thursday and will know what our next step is.
We had a nice weekend around here. The kids went sledding down the big hill by the dam Saturday and Sunday. I'll post pictures tomorrow. The kids had a blast and on one run Valynn went a little too far and ended up in the creek at the bottom. Mark said there was water running over the sled and Valynn was standing on the bank laughing.
On Saturday we had a couple over for supper, the wife grew up about 20 miles from me. We had a great visit. Kyra was happy to be back in school today, she loves school. Kyleigh has been a busy body. Tonight I went to put her plate in the dishwasher and she started throwing a tantrum, I handed her the plate and she put it in the dishwasher. She is really starting to grow up. She has really become a jabberbox. Valynn is happy to be back in school. Swimming starts this week for Valynn and Mason. On Sunday there was a house fire in Princeville, everyone got out safely. One little boy was in Mason's class, it was two years ago that we had this with Valynn's class.
Have a good week, I'll update on Thursday.
