Breathing a Sigh of Relief January 9, 2008
Adam’s GI called this evening with his biopsy results. They came back normal, no signs of eosinophils, so we can finally exhale. An eosinophilic disorder diagnosis was the one I was fearing the most, and I am so relieved that he doesn’t have that. Now we don’t have to worry about forcing him to wean to Neocate or any of the other things that go along with that diagnosis.
The GI wants Adam to have an ultrasound done before the next endoscopy, so his nurse will be calling tomorrow with scheduling info for that. We should be able to have that done pretty soon, and then the endoscopy will likely be scheduled for next week sometime.
He said that one endoscopy with the balloon may not be enough, that often a second one will be needed. Also, there’s a small chance that the pylorus may have been spasming during the first endoscopy, and the opening could look larger the next time he looks in there. We’ll cross those bridges if and when we come to them. Right now we’re just focusing on getting through the ultrasound and next endoscopy.

Yay! So glad he doesn’t have that disorder, that’s great.
Yay for being “normal”! Good luck with the endoscopy; praying hard over here that he only needs one.
Hooray for good news! May more of it be in the not-too-distant future :-)
Excellent!
