This is a short update, because there's not too much to say. It was a fairly uneventful visit with GI - we are always rushed in and out so quickly with very little chance to talk.
Dr. Liacouras again confirmed that the scope results were good (I really want a copy of that report), that we're doing the right thing, and that we now need to just sit back and watch him grow. We're happy with the tube decision, though Dr. L feels that we should continue with the NG for another 2-3 months before considering the G-Tube.
We'll see about that... There's a call into his office to discuss that timetable...
The bright spot of the day? We met up with a sweet little girl named Rylee in the waiting room. Rylee is a Super Tubie too! She was wearing a turtle sticker on her cheek, and for the first time since Aidan became a tubie, I was able to see myself on the other side of the table. She didn't look sick. I didn't feel sorry for her. She looked beautiful and strong and healthy and brave. I hope that's what someone, somewhere sees when they look at Aidan.

That sounds like a good report, although I hate feeling rushed at the Dr.'s office. Whenever I see pictures of Aidan (since I haven't had the privilege of meeting the little guy yet) he looks healthy, and oh so very happy! Can hardly tell anything different :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! And yes, doctor's appointments are always a bit stressful. We have some great ones (the Pediatrician's NP and the Nutritionist are both wonderful, as is our regular allergist/asthma guy - but the big name specialists are the worst!)
DeleteI know that's what I see when I look at him. It's almost impossible to not notice his smile and infectious laughter FIRST.
ReplyDeletethat's if the drool doesn't get you first...
DeleteSo glad the scope results were good!
ReplyDeleteBiggest sigh of relief EVER.
DeleteGlad Aidan's scope results were normal. Rylee loved meeting Aidan and asks about him all the time. Hope to get together soon.
