MRI Results

The results of Hunter's MRI show inflammation of the small intestine just above the colon. This moves Crohn's disease to the top of the list. They are also looking at rheumatic fever because something came back elevated in one of the blood tests to suggest that possibility. In an attempt to verify Crohn's, Hunter is having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. While he is out, they will also scope his stomach as well as get a liver biopsy. His liver enzymes have been elevated throughout this illness, so they are covering the bases. Hopefully this will give us all the answers we are looking for. Hunter has started his first round of fluids for his colon prep... aka rocket juice. Anyone who has had a colonoscopy knows what that means. It's going to be a fun night!
