Wednesday Afternoon Scope Results

Annie's scopes today both looked perfectly normal with no problems. All her tissues are a beautiful pink with no signs of inflammation, no colitis, and no signs of obstruction. They biopsied her colon so we'll get those results later, but based on the looks of her colon, we don't anticipate the biopsy results to be significant.

We are baffled. The GI wants to gradually start her feeds again, but we don't believe that Annie is going to tolerate them since she's barely tolerating meds in her tummy.  If she doesn't tolerate her feeds, she will have an upper GI study done and if that's inconclusive, they'll do a gastric emptying test. Yesterday our urologist also said he wanted to do a renal sonogram, so that might happen in the next day or two as well.

It's been about 9 days since Annie last had any kind of nutrition. If she doesn't tolerate her feeds, they are talking about starting her on TPN which would require the placement of a PICC line.

Our GI suspects that her UTI is making her sick and once Annie gets a couple more doses of the bactrim she'll start to improve. We hope he's right!
