My son had a CT Scan on Monday, and the GI called me from her vacation to inform me that there was sbstantial improvement in the Duodenum (where the large obstruction/ulcer) is and that he can start out with 8 oz. of clear liquid throughout this weekend along with his TPN. He hasn't had any food or water for 8 weeks. She's thinking that maybe the complete bowel rest worked and no surgery warranted at this time. Then she wants to admit him into the hospital next weds. to perform an endoscopy and other studies to determine the next course of treatment. She also wants to advance his diet while he's in the hospital while she is in service that week to see how he tolerates it. We're keeping our fingers crossed that things run smoothly next week and he is finally on the road to recovery this time.
