Update

We went to the GI specialist today where they ruled out Chrohn's disease (HUGE RELIEF). They said they think she has a condition called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, but they're not 100% certain. Unfortunately the only way to diagnose CVS is to rule a bunch of other stuff out. So we're having more tests done. Next week she'll have more blood panels done then she'll have an upper GI exam and a Gastric Emptying Scan. If anything on those tests comes back abnormal her specialist will notify us immediately. If everything come back normal I think they will probably go with the CVS diagnosis. The doctor is pretty sure that's what's causing it, though, sure enough to go ahead and start treating her for CVS, because it's just 1/2 tsp of medication per day. Next week is going to be a really rough week. She's already terrified of doctors now, and I know dragging her to the lab two or three times next week is not going to go over well. Besides the blood draw I'm most worried about the upper GI exam because she has to drink a cupful of barium. Have you ever drank barium? It's like liquid chalk. It's not going to be much fun to force a two year old to down that and I honestly don't know if I'll be able to.

I'll have to take M to the tests by myself because they only allow one parent in the lab. Hopefully we'll have some news by our appointment on January 8th.

I've been considering my blog the last few days and if all of this blows over by the time LOST starts back up in February I may go ahead and blog until the season's over. It is the final season after all. But it will hinge on M's health at that point. I'll keep you all posted.
