Today was the endoscopy and colonoscopy. To prepare for them, Asher had to stop eating Sunday morning. That's right - no food at all for nearly two days! He was allowed clear fluids on Sunday, then nothing at all from 9:30 AM Monday until 2:30 PM when the endoscopy and colonoscopy was scheduled.
To make matters worse, Asher needed to drink 3 separate doses of bad-tasting medicine, then have four enemas to clean out his system.
Asher did great. He didn't complain at all about not eating or even not drinking. He didn't complain at all about the enemas. He just went with it.
Now for the good news: Dr. says that everything looked good. He does so many of these that he can usually tell by sight if there is eosinophils in the esophagus, intestine, etc. Of course the biopsy results are the definitive answer, but it's reassuring to know that things are looking so good.
Asher was so mature that all the nurses said he behaved like a 5 year-old. That's my boy.
And now the worst is over. It gets easier after today.
Tomorrow is allergy testing. I'll try to update again tomorrow night.
