Deklin has motility testing done last week to try and determine why he is so c chronically constipated, and why he doesn't tolerate G-tube feeds (feeds into his stomach). As usual we left with more questions than answers. The thing with motility is out can vary from day to day, we know he deels with delayed gastric emptying, so we may have just caught him on a "good" day. The test showed that his stomach and small intestines are contacting like they should be, but the large intestine didn't contact until meds were given to make it. The good news is that the large intestine did respond to the meds, the bad news is he was in severe pain with every contraction. We also didn't catch any retching episodes during testing because he was given anti nausea meds just before the test because he was vomiting. They did take biopsies during the scope so we are still waiting on the results of those. We have a follow up with his GI at the end of the month to go over every thing and come up with a plan.
