Results: Gastric Emptying Study

Liam had a gastric emptying study today.  Radioactive material was mixed with 10ml of formula and then I gave him a bolus while they scanned his stomach for 20 minutes.  We took a break for 20 minutes and then had another 20 minute scan.  Results showed that it takes him 32 minutes to empty his stomach which according to the doctor is within the normal range.  Of course I questioned whether the amount (10ml) was sufficient to tell us anything... they also did not see any refluxing, so it's more good news.
