All Pooped Out

Its finally cool here.  The wind was whipping up for a couple of days and there are branches and leaves all over.  So it really is fall.  I am enjoying the colors so much.  They seem really bright and beautiful this year.  Maybe that is because it hasn’t been raining non-stop like it does some years.  I’ll take some pictures to post in a  later note.

Emily had a barium enema test on Tuesday to see how her bowels were doing.  I can say that they are pretty slow.  She returned 1/3 while they were taking pictures of her bowels, and 1/3 in the middle of the night (4am), and 1/3 just before more pictures were taken in radiology the next day.  She’s having little bouts every few hours. I feel so sorry for her, her bunns are getting pretty sore. 

Now the surgeon will look at the results from pictures, and the radiologist notes, and let us know how her bowels are functioning.  We’ll probably have an appt with him again next week.  The advice given will likely be something I don’t want to hear, or make a decision on.  I’ll post another note about it after the next appointment.

On a nicer note, Emily is feeling better and she’s been happy this week (in between poop episodes). 

Please keep Emily in your prayers. 

Thanks for listening ~
