GI Dr. Today

Today I took Kaitrynn to see her pediatric GI doctor.
The appointment went well. She decided in talking with us that an
ENDOSCOPY would give us more information than a Ph probe.
Kaitrynn is scheduled for an Endoscopy next Tuesday May 13, 2008
at 2:00 at PMCMC. The results will be back in about 2 days from the test.
Her Dr. is planning on biopsying her esophagus, stomach, and small bowel.
Why the biopsy??? Well it will determine if Kaityrnn is having a lot of
ACID, ALLERGY, INFECTION,or ENZYMES.
This is where we stand. This test will hopefully tell us What IS HURTING HER :) .
Doing this test will tell us more. She ate really well yesterday and then at
bed time she threw up all that I had fed her :) .
The Dr. was happy that she is eating and that she is off the tube.
Yes she hasn't eat in from her tube in over a week.
She is taking anywhere between 20 to 37 oz of formula by mouth now.
Yes give this Mom a pat on her back :) .
We will pray that they will determine with the test that it is GAS and that she will grow out of it. STAY TUNED ALL!

I hope everything goes well for Kaitryn.. we still need to get together.. Our basement will be done soon and that will probably be a funner time to come over. And with school out! So busy with school stuff, kids, piano, recitals & family visits! No excuses though.. we need to see each other soon! We will be gone the beginning of June, but home all summer after that. We better see you then!
