Cisapride

We got word earlier this week that Ellie has been approved to go on to the super, fantastic,gut- stimuating, recalled, potentailly dangerous drug called Cisapride.

Her EKG was great a few weeks ago and she will start on the new drug as soon as we can get it from the pharma company. She will be monitored very carefully and we hope that this will get her slow gut in gear to boost her ability to move things through the dialted portion of her bowel.

This delays her next surgery for a while and if all goes well could take the place of another trip to the OR. Avoiding the OR is always a good thing.

We'll have to see.
