Ellie Kate has endured a battery of testing during this hospital stay... and it looks like we may be getting closer to knowing what is causing all the GI problems. Yesterday, a "lower GI" was performed and with no signs or evidence of an obstruction. This morning, an "upper GI" was administered. This test took much longer to perform, for reasons not germane to this post (ask your doctor about the diffrence between and betwixt the two.)
From the upper GI, the preliminary feedback is that something is not right. This created a melancholy reaction from Ryan and I because we don't want anything to be wrong with EKM. But, since something is wrong with her, we want to know what it is.
After we get a definitive answer to what it is, we should then learn what treatments and remedies are at our disposal. Tomorrow has promise. Promise in that we are one step closer to relieving EKM's pain and discomfort and one step closer to her and her mommy sleeping in beds under my roof and not Integris's roof.
Thank you for the prayers, emails, phone calls, carrier pigeons and the like. In all seriousness, I enjoy reading this website because of the uplifting nature of your thoughts and prayers. You are evidence that God is real and working in my life and the lives of my family.
Thank you and Good Night Now.
