Small Bowel X-Ray....

We had the upper GI contrast x-ray today. Logan did really well especially given the fact that he had to drink some disgusting white chalky Barium liquid. I seriously thought he was going to vomit just trying to get it down....He didn't look good at all by this point in the procedure. However, he's pretty much thrown up on ALL x-ray tables by now, so why hold back???

Surprisingly, we already have results....

He PASSED with flying colors!!! According to both the radiologist and our GI specialist, nothing was indicated on the x-ray to warrant an ounce of concern.

While a part of me expected these results--Afterall, we've had 4 squeak- clean x-rays already and a couple of CT scans. I wasn't expecting dire news. I figured almost all bases had been covered with the initial tests, but just one more thing we had to rule out.

I'm glad he's fine, but I'm also frustrated that we don't have any more answers at this point. I just don't want him to fall under the "unsolvable" umbrella.

As far as Logan goes, his appetite returned today. Hopefully it stays around awhile. He's looking and acting more normal. His energy level doesn't seem to be as depleted as before. Little by little, I think he's making a comeback.

Now we're waiting for the blood work results to come back and we'll do the lactose test on Saturday. The gall bladder ultrasound is on Oct 28.
