Not again...

Finishing the CT scan. Kellen was
a trouper holding really still!! His
prize, a cute cuddly bear.

One of his rare perky times

Kellen was hospitalized yesterday with his 3rd intussecption. (This is when part of your bowel telescopes into itself, causing a blockage.) I thought this nightmare was over. We are currently at PCH and have been running test to figure out why this keeps happening. Everyone, including the doctors, are shocked that this has occurred again. So far, his CT scan showed no abnormalities or obstructions. We are set to due a sweat test to r/o cystic fibrosis. His lab work show that his is fighting off some kind of infection or a stress response. His ultrasound yesterday showed 3 spots where his bowels were intussepting. The second US, from today, showed that they resolved on their own. Yeah some good news today. Kellen is still pretty irritable and has a hard time getting comfortable. He is not really eating or drinking yet, and is having lots of stool loss. My poor bubba, I hate seeing him in pain and so lethargic. He is like a wet noodle when you hold him. However, he did have a few times when he felt a little better and would perk up for a short time. Hopefully tomorrow will hold some much needed answers.
