Upper GI Appt. Set

This morning I called and scheduled Maggie's upper GI with a small and large bowel study. Hopefully this will give some more information for Dr. Mezoff to determine where to go next. The appointment is scheduled for Monday at 8:15 in the morning. Pray that the procedure goes well. Maggie must drink barium and then the procedure will take an hour and a half or more. I don't know how it will work for them to observe her that long, but hopefully she'll do well.

I checked Maggie's weight today and she is down to 21 lbs. 4.5 oz. I think this shows the amount of diarrhea she continues to have. She had 4 episodes today (though the day is not done). It just doesn't seem to be letting up and I have no idea what is causing it's increase or consistency. She hasn't had milk in 2 days, so that can't be it. It is SO frustrating for us.

Please continue to pray for Maggie and her GI issues as well as for complete healing from cancer.

Oh Whitney, I really hope this appointment gives you some answers. SO sorry sweet Maggie has to keep going through these episodes.
Always thinking of you.

I am hoping and praying that this appointment gives the doctors the answers they need. I can't even imagine how frustrated and bone-tired you must be at this point. Thinking of and praying for you.

Love,

Whitney, I'm so sorry to hear that this is continuing and of course am praying that the testing process goes easily and that answers are found.

I can tell you're worn down and am praying special prayers for your energy, endurance and encouragement.

I'd offer to come help this weekend, but just got Jim back home after knee replacement surgery, so I'm "nursing" here at home.

I'll calling soon.
