Stomach X-Ray

By the end of this week, Cannon is sick of X-rays, tests and definitely the Barium they keep forcing him to eat. After speaking with the G.I. department and being told that Cannon has lost a pound since our last appointment, two weeks ago, making him no longer on the growth charts. They strongly suggest that a g-tube is the best thing to keep him growing and healthy. I wouldnt' say we had to think about it too long, because ultimately we want to do what will keep Cannon strongest but it is a lot to consider with a surgery being involved. The appointment is scheduled for the Wednesday after we get back from Utah, December 1st. With the upcoming surgery, it was back to Radiology for an X-ray to check his anatomy to clear him for a feeding tube. Isn't his little hospital gown adorable. Kent and I are sporting the latest styles in lead aprons :)

I debated whether or not to post this picture- YIKES! Oh well- such is life. Hakuna Matata!

My goodness Cannon is a beautiful baby. Looking at these photos, he looks so very normal and like we could just pick him up and cuddle him. Hopefully, he can gain back a pound or two!!
