Pumpkin and I are in Anchorage, 3-4 hours drive from our home, for a few days while she sees a pediatric gastroenterologist and undergoes some testing for failure to gain weight and delayed puberty. Yesterday she saw the doctor who is suspicious of Crohn's disease.
This morning she had an MR endoscopy (nasty contrast didn't go down well). Tomorrow she will have an upper and lower endoscopy (scopes). Today we are doing the prep. She had to take two little laxatives (dulcolax) and now is having to drink an entire bottle of miralax split up in two 32 oz bottles of yellow or green gatorade. Already her stools are clearing up. I didn't think it would take too long since she hardly eats.
After she recovers tomorrow from her procedures, we will head back to Soldotna. A storm is coming in tomorrow but I am hoping to beat it. Our test got moved up from 1:00 pm to 10:30 am, which will be helpful to keep us from missing it...
Thanks for your good thoughts for Pumpkin and for your prayers.
