Another Day... Another Update

Hannah has been on food for 24 hours & has tolerated all 3 meals really well. Yesterday evening she managed to have a normal bowel movement (I know, sorry... TMI!). She really livened up yesterday & was quite pleasant. We even got to hear that fabulous giggle we have missed so much. Jeff stayed here last night & said there was no diarrhea or vomiting, we have had days like this where things were looking up so that doesn't mean too much to us yet. If we can do the same again tonight that will have us feeling more optimistic.

This morning she was pleasant once again & even managed to have more normal bowel movements. We seem to have taken a slight turn in directions, but who knows if it will be short lived, but we hope for things to continue this way.

She has been really gassy after she eats, but she was gassy even when she was just on liquids. I mentioned this to the Doctor, but he didn't seem concerned. The doctor was listening after she ate & said her bowels sounded good, they were making good noises, & not overly active or too quiet (meaning they weren't functioning.) They are as dumbfounded as we are about this dramatic change, but seem just as happy. They were tempted to send us home now, but they have ordered the last test (cystic fibrosis sweat test) that will be done tomorrow. He still wants to run that test & feels as long as she is inpatient the testing & results will go much faster, we are also still waiting for the results on the celiac panel. We are so okay with that!!

So who knows what the change/improvement in things means. We are still planning on seeing a GI just to make sure everything is okay, but that will be done on an outpatient basis. We will continue to hold onto hope that this was some yucky bug & every other test we have done comes back negative. Thanks for all your concern, support & prayers.... we really appreciate it!!
