Tarah's Status II
Tarah is at home tonight and her symptoms have lessened for the time being. All tests performed over the last 3 days came back negative. She will have a follow up appointment at Sick Kids with a Gastro in a week or two for an endo- and colono-scope. Hopefully, her symptoms will Be minimal while we push for an earlier date for the follow up. Thank you all for your concern and offers of help!! We're better now and will remain vigilant!

Hey
you were asking for an update....they did some nuclear imaging thing today....blood work came back negative for infections....stool samples (still no news). Nothing showed on x-ray or imaging. Tarah continues to eat well, voiding bladder fine, but having intermittent stomach pains followed by bowel movement minus stool....mostly blood....about half a table spoon to one tablespn. no fever or nausea. hemoglobin a little low but not a concern. Next step might be a scope...although the gastro was thinking of sending her home with an antibiotic for two weeks and see if things improve. I tried to dissuade her of this since we have been dealing with this in a milder form (on and off) for 6-9 mths. WTF?

i want them to do the scope and have an actual look...i know its invasive but....so far nothing is showing! don't want to go home and come back two days later, wondering and second guessing ourselves on whether we are over reacting.
