Aggie had a gastric reflux scan today. I didn't know what this was going into it, perhaps i would have packed differently?? Thankfully I arranged to drop the children off at a friends house, I'm so thankful for sweet friends who love on my babies for me! So..... I knew Aggie would have to eat or drink something, since she could not eat 4 hours prior to the test. And she did, have to drink some radio-active formula. I was however not prepared to hear that she would be strapped to a table for an hour so a machine could take pictures of her radioactive formula going down her every 20 seconds. I immediately grew anxious upon the news. Deep breath, think scripture......... "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7 So I stared making my requests known...... "Lord please let her drink her radioactive drink, please fill her with peace, let her rest in your hands, allow her to fall asleep, please don't let her scream the whole time..........etc" I text friends to request prayer whom I knew would do so with me immediately. And praise the Lord who hears us!!! Aggie was Velcroed to the table and reinforced with several wraps of tape..... She looked up at me as this was happening and smiled cautiously.... I smiled back and told her what a sweet girl she was. About five min. into her confinement, she wasn't feeling so comfortable anymore and made herself known. I continued to pray, after about 5 minutes of fussiness, she stopped and just looked around, I sang to her and stroked her head, and then she dozed of for the remaining 40 minutes of the test. I was so thankful to God for hearing my prayer and answering it so faithfully. I am overwhelmed with gladness. She will have another scan, except "gastric emptying" Aug. 5th. I'm certain she will receive the same tie-down treatment, so I'm going to start praying now that it might go similarly.
