Blake

We had a very exhausting Friday night with Blake let me just say LOTS of throwing up and stomach ache.... We were worried about him but most of the weekend just ended in the same old diarrhea.. Thank goodness Today was his GI appointment. This doctor was wonderful and is suppose to be the BEST in B'ham! He examined Blake and read over all his past records, they are baffled that in the hospital Blake did have WBCs in his stool which did mean he had some type of infection more than likely the C-diff. Now that he is still having issues after completing antibiotics to kill the C-diff they are thinking he has a motility issue. Food is hitting his gut and being pushed right back out sometimes causing him not to absorb the food. They were able to obtain a stool sample from him and will run some test on it to be sure what is going on. Friday I will talk with the Dr. and all the lab work should be back. At that point he said we would know more of what we were dealing with. Hopefully his gut is just trying to repair itself and we can add some fiber to his diet to help it bulk the food while it is being digested? We'll keep you updated.
