Trip to the ER

Brother has been throwing up lately. Then yesterday, (Tuesday) it got worse. The GI doctor told us he needed an upper GI and it could not wait till his scheduled appointment next Tuesday. She told us to go to the ER and get it done right away. So we taped Big Brother and off we went to the hospital. After waiting 7 1/2 hours they sent us home and told us to bring him back at 6:45am. At 8:30am they did the procedure and did NOT see and blockages, strictures or twists! HOORAY! Now we still don't know the cause of the projectile vomit, but we are all thankful to know it's not a structural problem. What a night! Amelia and Brother were angels. All the nurses couldn't believe how 'normal' he looked after they read his chart.
I think that's a compliment.
Everyone chilling.
Amelia and Brother cuddling.
Now we just wait to hear from the doctor to know what the next step will be. Please pray the throwing up will stop!

Praying for little brother and all of you! What sweet faces joy you have in the midst of trials- it is a testimony of your deep love for Jesus. We love you too! The Morgans

The photo of Scotty and Amelia in the bed touched us deeply. Remember the song lyrics, "he ain't heavy, he's my brother." No truer words. Love and prayers always, Gramma and Grampa
