Good news, I just got back from having an upper GI x-ray. They strapped me to a plexiglass board really tight, laid me on my back, and made me drink a bottle filled with a barium solution. Then they took a bunch of x-rays of me as they turned me around onto my side and stuff, still strapped to this board. Daddy was watching as the barium went down into my tummy and then after moving around a little, the barium went back up my esophagus. Pretty far, almost to my throat.
It looks like I have a bad case of acid reflux. Let's hope that's all that's wrong with me!
There's still a few more tests to run, they are going to do an echocardiogram (basically an ultrasound of my heart) and then maybe run an endoscope down my esophagus to look for damage and stuff like that.
I'll keep you posted.
