I got the results for Tabby's Hida gallbladder scan last Friday. Everything looked good. No problems.
This morning I took Tabby to the hospital for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. (Yikes. I know. Well I don't - but I've heard.) The procedure itself went smoothly. NO problems were found. Well other than a tiny polyp which will be checked, but the doctor doubts it will be any sort of problem. So that means no celiacs, gluten issues, crohn's disease, etc etc. Somehow we weren't surprised. But we were disappointed. We wanted this search for what's wrong to be over so we can take some action.
Tabby's wake up after the scopes did not go smoothly. (She had anaesthesia during the procedure.) Tabby was very disoriented and started sobbing. Then she was gasping with pain. She said her stomach pain was incredibly sharp. They said "gas pain" was normal. But her's was much worse. Her doctor said her nerves are "hyper sensitive." So they gave her some pain medication. Of course it didn't really work Nothing seems to. She's been in almost constant pain now for TWO weeks!
Her GI doctor wants to see her again soon. But I also am going to be pursuing a different path. I'm considering whether Tabby might have Lyme's disease. Her symptoms fit with the symptoms of many teens with the disease. From what I've learned from my research, it is tricky to diagnose and tests are not very accurate, unless you get one within 30 days of being bit.
I am too tired to share more about that, but I will post about the treatment I am putting together for her very soon.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. We really need them!
