Some Follow Up

Aaron had an Upper GI with a baruim tablet last week.  They wanted to see how his esophagus was functioning.  The radiologist was a bit puzzled.  The tablet sat at the bottom of the esophagus for 10 minutes before it dropped down into the stomach.  There was nothing there to have caused the tablet to not pass right through.

So, that means he will need an EGD on September 13th.  He will be under anesthesia for this procedure, so that has me a bit concerned. 

Aaron also had blood work done this week.  His CBC and BMP were fine.  He has completely recovered from renal failure and cardiac issues. 
His final Lyme test was negative, like the two previous tests.  So, we officially know what did NOT cause Aaron's illness.  They mystery of what caused our son to be so seriously ill may never be solved, and remain unknown to all but the One who created him.   

Aaron is doing well.  We are getting back to "normal" life.  He is doing school work, and trying to see how much he can procratinate.  Very typical for Aaron:)  His sore on his bottom is slowly healing, much better than it was, but not healed yet.  So he is enjoying getting to go around in his PJs and boxers when we are home.

He is looking forward to taking his hunter's safety course this fall, and hopefully going hunting for the first time.
Oh, and he is enjoying doing the goofy eyes whenever he wants.

  1. It is so wonderful that he seems to be doing so well. So curious about his esophagus. . . strange. Will be praying.
