Ellie finally did some good pooping this weekend and cleared out all the contrast from Wednesday. So we were able to do the study of her large bowel today. Usually this is not a nice experience for Ellie or for us. Contrast enemas are fun for no one, but especially not for anyone that is missing their ICV (Ileocecal valve). But we had a long talk with the radiologist and the tech and also got Ellie some Lorazepam to help with pain and anxiety. And the test went very well.
But bad news is that they did not see a blockage, narrowing, or signs of adhesion. So we still don't know anymore than we did last week. We are waiting to hear back from Dr. Jennings about what the plan is from here. Gib and I would like to scope her because we know that something is wrong but now what.
Ellie is doing great. No shiner from her fall yesterday. Currently she is asleep and doing very well.
We will post more tomorrow when we hopefully will know more.

You and Gib would like to scope her yourselves? Listen guys, I know you're good at procedures and stuff, but maybe we should leave the scoping to the people who have actually been to medical school. Sheesh, change one central line and they get all high and mighty...
(so glad to hear you all had a good day!)
How do you know all this stuff and know what to say or do in the Hospital?
How come your the only parents that can control every thing that happens in the Hospital ?
Fortunately we have a great surgeon who has agreed to support us as we talk and think our way through this adventure in short gut.
