Hannah had her first appointment with a GI peds doctor in Spokane on Monday. We talked about history, what we have done thus far, what the concerns where and what symptoms Hannah is currently having. They did weight, height, and head measurements. The Doctor was so wonderful and listened to me and asked wonderful questions. I really appreciated the knowledge of the specialist and what he had in mind and what he thought was going on at this point.
At this point his thoughts are that Hannah has a problem with how her stomach empties, well how is does not empty well, actually. He gave it a name but, well i focused on what we were going to do to check it out further and not the name of it. He switched up one of her meds and took her off a medicine she was on. He ordered blood draw labs to rule out any diseases that could cause similar problems and He scheduled Hannah to have an upper GI done at Sacred Heart Medical for Tuesday May 5th at 8:30am. He wanted this test done at his hospital so that pediatric radiologist would review the films. Also they are better staffed to x-ray younger children. I felt comfortable with his choice and agree that it is worth the money to travel back to Spokane for her testing.
I will keep you posted on what is found and what courses my be taken. I am never sure how the road is going to turn out but I always know that they Lord will be with us down it. We have been truly blessed on how well Hannah has done, after how rough a start she had coming into this world. This GI specialist was scheduling out to November when we first were referred ( he is the only one in Spokane) and we were truly blessed that I was on the phone with the office when someone called and cancelled for April, we only had to wait 3 weeks. We continue to be blessed and looked after!
