Brant has an appointment with the GI!

After lots of calling my doctor's office as well as the GI's office we finally have an appointment for Jan 22 at 2:30pm with the GI specialist at Children's. Unfortunately they do not do the scope/biopsy on the first visit so we will still have to return a second time for that. In the meantime I don't dare take Brant off gluten yet because if I do before the biopsy it could skew the results. So poor guy has to stay sick until our system gets him taken care of properly. I tell you, it has crossed my mind more than once to just drive myself and Brant down to Vancouver and park ourselves in the ER til they do the scope ... but I know me and I won't do that unless it gets really bad. So far we have managed to keep Brant hydrated, so even though he is malnourished (everything comes back up or goes right through him) he will survive. How horrible to think that way though! As a mother it just breaks my heart to see him so sick.

Here's a couple of photos I took of him a few days ago. You can count his ribs and see his bulging belly :( I still managed to get him to smile though :)
