A 1% Chance

Last Tuesday the Doctor told us he was 99% sure that Miss Spitfire did NOT have Crohns disease. Today I met with him to go over all of her results from her colonoscopy and endoscope. I was very anxious to go and get these results to hear what could be wrong since we figured it wasn't Crohns. I was also a little nervous to know what the next step would be in helping her feel better.

Well that 1% chance that she did have Crohns was pretty much the answer I got today. My heart sank in to the pit of my stomach when he said this. I was going in thinking this wasn't even a possibility. He however did not come right out and say she has this. He said the scope could not go into the small intestines, but where the scopes started and stopped in the small intestines was inflamed. The intestines is where Crohns lives. So he is sending us to St.Francis on Friday for an X-ray of her small intestines. She has to drink a purple drink and they will watch it travel through her body. This will give him a better idea of how bad her intestines are inflamed and if she does in fact have Crohns.

As I have mentioned before Crohns runs in my family ( 3 cousins have it) and it is hereditary. So I asked the Doctor today if Friday he finds that it is not Crohns could it in fact turn into or grow into Crohns and he said yes it probably will, since we have such a strong family history of this. He wrote her a prescription for a medicine that is used to treat Crohns and she will stay on this for a month. After the X-ray and he sees the reaction to her taking this medication he will then decide if she should stay on it or be put on something new.

Today was a rough day! I felt like I got kicked in the gut by a bull! After one mini melt down I have realized this is something we can't be sad or angry about, we must stand strong and get my baby girl feeling healthy. I will always be her voice in this and will always stay strong for her. With all that she has gone through and could possibly go through she deserves a strong and positive Mom to be by her side through all of it and that is just what I am gonna do.

I say it in almost all of my posts, but to God be the Glory. I trust in him 100% and know that this is all for him and he will be the one to see us through these difficult times. He is my strength, my savior, my healer, my God! He is awesome :)
