Staying true to Adela’s track record of keeping things interesting, we actually are not home yet.\u00a0 Unfortunately the CT scan from yesterday didn’t give a definitive answer as to what the unknown spot is.\u00a0 We thought it did, but when her GI doctor looked at it this morning, she found that the dye used for the scan didn’t completely cover the area in question so we need more images.\u00a0 This morning we went down for an abdominal x-ray.\u00a0 The thought is that the x-ray combined with the CT scan may be able to definitively answer if this is an ulcer, fistula, or abscess.\u00a0 We’re still waiting for the x-ray results…been waiting for five hours now for the results.\u00a0 If it’s determined that the spot is harmless, we’ll go right home after Adela’s dose of new medicine for Crohn’s.\u00a0 If it’s not clear from the x-ray, we’ll have to have another CT scan, this time with a barium enema to ensure the dye gets where it needs to be.\u00a0 Oh what fun.\u00a0 The only good thing about that method is that Adela doesn’t need to fast and the barium dye is given all at once immediately before the CT scan.\u00a0 Then I’m sure we’ll have to wait again for the results to be read before we know what the next step is.<\/p>\n
So, at this point, we’re not sure if we’re heading home today or not, but we’ll update the blog as we know more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
