We were finally referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist (there hasn't been one available in our town) and we are FINALLY doing some investigations into Jason's on going gut issues. His last endoscope and colonoscopy was when we were in Austria in 2010 for tube weaning. Back then Jason was 3 years old and we had no idea that 7 years later we would still be scratching our heads over his gut issues. BUT in Austria he was there for tube weaning, he was very ill with rotavirus, norovirus as well as pharyngitis and bronchitis. Not exactly a perfect situation and a reason to do intense investigations there and besides that was not why we were there anyway.
So here we are in hospital - not our usual home away from home hospital but we are getting pretty familiar with this hospital as Jason has been admitted twice for a week each for his renal issues.
I must say the nurses are very pleasant, the doctor is great and the technology is great as well. They have a vein finder here - something every pediatric ward should have. This is an infared contraption that picks up veins without having to prod and poke and guess where the veins are. Wonderful invention but I believe they are very expensive!! See picture below.
So not a smooth night at all and I was absolutely finished this morning.
