Request for Prayer

As most of you know who have been following our blog, Nolan has suffered from some pretty severe acid reflux since birth. He has been on all different kinds of medication for it, but had been doing well on one daily dose of Prilosec...until recently. His sleep patterns have changed, he's not eating as well and points to his chest and says "Owee". A week ago, we increased his dose to twice a day and that has made little to no difference.

So, tomorrow morning at 11:00am (EST), we are taking him to the hospital to have an Upper GI test performed. They had wanted to do this on him when he was an infant and we declined. But, now we are pursuing it in hopes of some answers. He will drink some juice with contrast in it and then they will take x-rays of his chest. It takes about an hour, but the worst part is that he can't eat all morning before the test is performed. So, that will be rough! :( It won't tell us anymore about his acid reflux...but they want to look for abnormalities or deformities in that area to rule it out.

Thankfully, Ryan is able to work from home tomorrow and can be there with me to help. Please pray for our little man - that he handles it all well, that the results of this test will give us peace of mind and show us what steps we need to take next. Thanks so much for your support!!
