This past Monday, Brennan and I headed down to Winston-Salem, NC, to complete the motility studies that will hopefully help us figure out what is going on in his intestines. The first test was originally scheduled to be completed on Tuesday, but we discovered that either his first clean out was not fully effective or he produced enough stool over the course of three days on a liquid diet to make it impossible to do the test that day.
Of course, there was initial disappointment, coupled with the thought of "now what????". We had traveled four hours and jumped through every hoop provided by the insurance company only to think that it may not be possible at this time. But...God intervened. A quick call to the insurance company got them to cover another in-patient clean out, and we were able to do the testing over the course of the next couple of days. It meant an extra day in NC, but that sure beat having to start the whole process over again!
Brennan did fantastic in the hospital and was thrilled when he was given the chance to eat again. His first food request: macaroni (or in Brennan-speak, "macanoni"). We hope to find out the test results in the next couple of weeks and we'll be able to start physical therapy soon (hopefully!). We are definitely hoping that this portion of testing will bring us ever closer to a real, true solution to this ongoing difficulty. Thank you all so much for your prayers during this time for us!
