Caed did SO well at the hospital today for the UGI. When we first got there, he was pretty quiet and a little clingy, but soon...found out there was nothing to worry about. He was so brave and never once cried. His main concern was getting it over with so he could go EAT!! We had to stop his feeds at 5 am, and he couldn't eat or drink until after it was over. The past several months that was never an issue. Not now! This boy wants food the minute his feet hit the floor in the morning and then continues to ask for it every 20-30 minutes. So, this was tough on him this morning. The x-rays lasted about 3 hrs. (about the same amount of time it took for the last one mid - May) I guess we won't really know anything until we see our GI dr. next time. The only thing we could see was that his stomach still had an odd shape. The radiologist came out one time and said it was moving through, just a little slowly. I guess we somewhat expected that. However, at least it didn't take over 24 hrs. like it did the first time he had this done. He's making progress.
Todd and I had our weekly night out tonight since he'll be leaving again tomorrow....and be gone for 11 days. He and the youth will be heading to Durango, CO for Student Life camp next week. His brother, Matt, will also be going with his youth group from FBC Belton....should be fun having both "Hollingsworth bros." there together. Each of their youth groups always laugh and can't get over how much they look and act alike.
Thank you for your prayers concerning today's procedure. It was truly a calm, peaceful morning. The radio techs asked if he was a screamer......uummm......hard to say.....he has been known to do that in the past!!! ha! I am SO thankful he had a good experience today. He told me at one point he was a little scared b/c he didn't understand what they were going to do. Boy, has he come a long way!!!!
**SO GOOD to see you again Jason!!!!!!
Being silly as we
waited (for 3 long hrs. up on
that hard table)
Finally.....he's getting to enjoy IHOP.
Watch out Greg....he practicing up for y'alls big
eating contest in a few weeks.

Ha ha!!! We are very much looking forward to seeing you guys. Caed is NOTHING short of a miracle. I will never forget Gods faithfulness and mercy through all of this. Tell Caed that I am also in training for our contest. I am eating tubs of peanut butter in a sitting!
