Thats great Shannon!!!!
Sometimes a sleep deprived mother can really get some action :-))
I dont have any real advice I'm afraid. Alex had a similar test (his was a 
nuclear milk scan) and it showed all sorts of problems,
but the best part was that they were fixable.
In Alex's case he had delayed gastric emptying (just slow to empty from the 
stomach to the intestines, but not severe), a
malrotation of the gut which slowed things down too. Plus they also saw that he 
had achalacia - no or very minimal contractions of
the esophagus and stomach. Poor kid relies on gravity to good food from one 
spot to the next. Plus of course reflux.

While I know I should be saying that I hope all is well, I will actually be 
praying that you get some answers sweet....... GOOD
LUCK!!
