Whiny post, beware
Today I'm exhausted. I'm choosing to blog instead of texting or calling my friends--whom I know would give me support beyond what I deserve. Please, (if any of you ever read this) don't be offended. I just don't know how to deal with it any other way.
Today, I took Amy for her second endoscopy. Over the last 4-5 days she had THREE food impaction events. AND it's been taking her FOREVER to eat. I mean FOREVER (like 2 hours to get ONE sandwich down). Well, Saturday morning it suddenly all came together and I emailed her GI doctor about her symptoms. He agreed and kindly managed to squeeze us in for an endoscopy today. Bottom line result. Amy has EOE. So...now I have TWO children with EOE.
I'm too tired to write more. It will be treated. I'm not doing an elimination diet. I just can't. It's too complicated. I've done an elimination diet for YEARS...and the freedom of eating what you want is too precious. So, we will treat with steroid. We will treat with budesonide. And someday I'm going to have to go back and do a GI fellowship or an Allergy/Immunology fellowship and figure out WHY in the WORLD my kids can't just have a normal GI tract.
