16 month old with a GI Specialist AND a Urology Specialist....hmmmm

Yes, we now have a GI specialist, which I am sure we will be seeing just as often as the Urologist. Atleast this office will be somewhat fun to visit. The office is in downtown Birmingham, and when you walk in they have "Official Stadium Seats" from the original Chicago White Sox stadium to sit in, AND the nurses where White Sox jerseys. At least it is something different.

The doctor looked at all of Micah's Ultrasounds that she has had done on her kidney, the gallbladder is only seen in 2 of these. The first was from July, and the stone was there then also, it just was not caught. And of course in the one from a couple of weeks ago. He said that He thinks it might have been a result from her having some Jaundice at birth. He said it is rare but it has happened before. Although he thinks that this is what caused it he still wants to send her to Children's Hospital to have a couple of test run.

She is scheduled to go next Friday to have a new ultrasound, blood work, and a Hidascan?? All I know about the Hidascan is that they will put and IV in her hand, they will then inject dye into the IV and watch it for a while as it goes to her liver and gallbladder. This is to see if the stone is blocking a bile duct and to make sure everything is functioning like it should. We see the doctor directly after the tests so we will know something that day. My poor little angel will not be in a good mood that day.

Anyways, that is it for now. So too all of you out there reading this (mom, Dad, and ??) haha there it is. Although ya'll already knew all of this......so why am I writing it on here?
