QUICK UPDATE
Sarah had her surgery on Tuesday to fix the malrotation of her small intestine and remove her appendix. Everything went great. She was progressing nicely until yesterday. Actually we thought she might come home but she began to reject most food offered to her. Then she swelled up not as bad as before but it was painful for her and upsetting to us. She also had hiccups which we can't remember her ever hiccupping begore. She did gag some too. She was given anti nausea meds and put back on a liquid diet. She has been going to the bathroom regularly.. We did find she was lactose intolerant from one of the biopsies that were done.
We really do not know what to think!
All this started in the fall as far as we can remember. The swelling up after eating is what drove me to take her to the gastrologist in the first place. Obviously her small intestines issue was something she was born with. The lactose intolerance was not something we had noticed before. I asked and was told she could have developed it later in life. So we got the surgery and she has been on a lactose free diet for most of her hospital stay yet we are still having the same issues.
We are worried and tired. Please pray for wisdom for our doctors. Pray for Sarah I hate to see her sick! She has always been so healthy.
She has had all the major GI tests. If you have any ideas please feel free to email me directly as i have not been checking the blog much. theclanton5@aol.com Thank you for the prayers!
