Well, technically it's an esophagegastroduodenoscopy with a colonoscopy thrown in for fun. We got up at 3:30am and left by 4. The weather was ultra nasty and I'm NOT a night time driver, so the hard rain and non-draining roads were no tea party. We made it just in time, and I mean JUST in time. Mia had not had anything other than water for almost 24 hours and was beginning to demand carrots in the manner of a diva demanding hot towels and yellow MM's. We spoke to the doctor and the anesthesiologist and sent her in.
I wasn't expecting anything to be out of the ordinary but they did seem to find some ringing in the esophagus, some inflamed patches in her duodenum (first part of small intestine) and bumpy cobblestoning in her colon. While those things are not normal, they could be from the Miralax cleanout. We'll really only know if it's "damage" when the biopsies come back. We should hopefully hear something by Tuesday.
Tuesday we are already super busy with a speech evaluation (it's actually for feeding therapy, but you have to go through this therapist) and the review of the OT evaluation that she had two weeks ago. Her first physical therapy appointment went well, she's definitely comfortable with her therapist and has begun to show her goofy non-focused side! We also meet with the new preschool nurse to train them for any G-Tube encounters they might have.
