Juli and I bussed it to the UW Medical Center for her long-awaited GI consult this morning. History was taken, past test results were poured over, more tests were ordered and blood was drawn. It seems to be a matter of ruling out all the things that haven't been ruled out in the past: Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, IBS, all the different forms of hepatitis, lesions, ulcers, and whatever else they can try to hang their collective hats on. It is still a mystery until proven otherwise.
Jules is now scheduled for a visit to Dr. Casabona tomorrow to discuss her current situation and the results of her brain MRI, an upper GI ultrasound next week, then the neurology consult the following week, then a full upper and lower endoscopy with biopsies in early April.
The day was pretty well shot by the time we got home. We all napped. When Kerne came home from work, everyone went back to bed and napped some more. This medical stuff just wears us all out!
