We went to Sioux Falls a few weeks ago to see a GI doctor in regards to Kobe's liver enzymes. The doctor wasn't concerned with the numbers. When we talked to him about Kobe's hard stools, he decided to do an x-ray. They saw his diaphragm was high and wanted to schedule an Upper GI. We weren't really sure if this was necessary. We kind of felt we were testing him to find nothing was wrong. We weren't really concerned about things b/c he didn't have any symptoms. So the nurse called to see about scheduling the Upper GI. I told her we had decided not to do it. After talking to the doctor, she called back. The doctor said it really needed to be done. The doctor even got on the phone and talked to Jason. Okay...apparently we should do this. ??? They are concerned about some sort of hernia. Who knows?!! On Monday, he is scheduled for an Upper GI at 10:30 with an appointment with the doctor to follow. I'm dreading this so much. He can't have anything to eat for 8 hours before. He can have clear liquids for 4 hours ahead of time. I can't imagine. I do wonder how they will get him to drink the chalky barium. Maybe he will suck it down because he will be starving! It could be interesting. Needless to say, I'm hoping we don't find anything. It is hard not knowing if he just is going to have some abnormalities or if there really is a problem. I don't need to have an answer. We don't have to test him to death. Yet, we don't want to overlook something. We will see what comes from this. Your prayers Sunday night/Monday night would be appreciated as we prepare for this test. Thanks!
