Austin and I will be traveling out for another appointment at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital on February 1st and 2nd. We will be traveling to the Dayton facility instead of the hospital in Cincinnati. The flights are much less expensive.
His procedure will be on the 1st at one o’clock. It will be performed by the same doctor that performed his other procedures. His name is James P. Franciosi.
There are two things that they will be looking for with this endoscope. First is to make sure that he has maintained with the increase of steroids and prevacid. If so then they will consider giving him another food that was eliminated from his diet. He was given back milk back after our last visit. Our options for this trip are Nuts, Soy and Wheat. John and I are leaning towards soy.
On the last visit they did a biopsy of his upper intestines and found white blood cells. Apparently those are not supposed to be there. This is called Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis. They will be gathering more biopsies to see if he does in fact have Eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
Stay tuned.
