The Last Test...

hopefully for a while!

I will be so happy if we could stay out of the children's hospital for a little while. It is sad (yet, nice in a strange way) when a parent can say that people know you and your children at the hospital. I could count 8 different staff members that came up to us today to say "Hi!" that have all dealt with Zoe or Zach at some point in the last 6 months.

Today was Zachary's Panendoscopy with biopsy(s)/brushing(s). The procedure was at 10:10 but we needed to be there by 8:10, which meant leaving the house at 7am to beat traffic. We got there with near perfect timing and everything went rather smoothly.

Zach went back without taking happy juice and went to sleep fine - thanks to the same wonderful anesthesiologists that has taken care of both of my kids. The GI came out 20 minutes later and told me Zach was fine and that everything looked normal, but he won't be able to say for sure until the biopsies are back. He also said he got "a lot" of biopsies. We are to call in one week for the results. Zach will be in some pain today and he should just take it easy, using Tylenol and warm compresses as necessary for today.

So that is it....the last test to be done....now bring on some answers!

Glad the testing is done for now. Poor little guy has been such a trooper. Hope he feels better real soon.
Can I ask what the procedure was for the GI? I know it was done because he's a peanut right? Wes will be seeing the top pediatric GI that deals with autism in August. He has severe constipation which we're treating with Miralax. I figured it had to do with his terrible diet, but we're seeing him just to be sure. You can email me at
