My Story Continued

You would not believe what I have been through in the last couple of monthes. I have been through a procedure I have been through so many blood tests I have lost track, I have had to change my diet almost miss the last day of school and almost my whole life style all because of Crohns disease. it all started last November when I started having bad stomach aches and really wet stoles. We went to the Dr. and they said it was just a virus and not to worry about it.In February we took me off of dairy and i improved a little but not much so we went to the dr. again but told them I had a skin condition called muluscum contagious that should have gone away but never did and still said nothing was wrong. So finally in April we switched Dr said something definitely was up and got me an appointment in Omaha at the Children's Hospital with a specialist. My dr told me to stay on the gluten free diet witch I had just started the week before. When we went in to see the specialist he said he wanted to get inside me and see what was up. So we got scheduled for an endescopy and biopsy the very next week which happened to be the very last week of school. So on tuesday we went up to Omaha and I had to drink Liquid chalk which made me puke. So we called the drs office and they told us about another drink and that one went dowm and stayed down. The next day I couldn't eat anything after eight o'clock. So I was starving! We went in at two o'clock and got my room and I got to pick a movie to watch. Not even Half way through the movie I want in and they put me to sleep and before I knew it I was being asked if I wanted any thing to drink. About 30 min. later I was back in my room and the dr was telling us I had Crohns Disease and he could tell because I had soarse all the way from my mouth all the way out the other end. I was very upset but now I have learned to live with it and I have gotten used to the diet but now the dr is stating to let we off slowly so I am very excited.
