Hey Guys,
Well, I got out of the hospital today on a "Day Pass" so I have to go back in tonight. I thought I'd leave a little update because they say I'll likely be in there until next Friday for sure (a bit longer than they had originally guessed). It's not horrible, but it's a little annoying because they aren't really doing too much, nightly blood work and vitamin supplements, and basically constantly checking and sampling my stool (fun eh?).
I had the small bowel follow through on Thursday but don't know the results yet, and I may be having an endoscopy later in the week.
I met with a dietician and they're forcing dairy on me - they said since all my restrictions haven't helped, it's safe to assume we should try me on it again. So far it hasn't caused any problems...so I don't really know what that means in terms of what it is.
They're also making me increase my fat intake because they want to do a 48 fecal fat test (sounds fun) so I've been eating a little funny lately 
Anyways, I hope all of you guys are doing really well and I'll be sure to update again when I get out for good.
Gonna go lay in my nice bed and visit with my cat and my honey
Take care,
Kelly

Take care of yourself

Thank you for the update...I was wondering how things were going. I was sick and missed commenting to you before you went in. I sure hope you are starting to feel better and they can soon figure out with all these tests what is bothering you.

Hey Kelly!
Glad to hear from you, I was wondering how things were going. Too bad they are keeping you longer, but hopefully it'll be for the best, for info-gathering and all.
Take care of yourself, and do keep us updated when you get the chance!
Later,
Marlo
