It's late! Long day! Glad it's over!
I was fortunate to have some good phone calls this afternoon. First, the pediatrician called to say the mass seems to be at the base of the esophugus and will hopefully continue to move along (and out!). So he then said a GI doctor wanted to see her tomorrow. I called that office and asked some questions about what would happen at the appointment and before I knew it I had asked so many questions about feeding her, if he'd seen the films, what to watch for, etc. that the nurse said "hold on" and the doctor came on the phone! He was so nice and said it's past the airway, it looks like a typical scenario he sees all the time and there's no need to worry - just to wait. He said we could wait until Monday and if it's still in there we could take another look at where it is by then.
Then, I still had some unanswered questions. So I worked myself through the phone system of the hospital radiology department and found out which radiologist read her x-ray. I asked to speak to him and amazingly - he took my call too! He was so happy to get more information saying "I didn't know if you were sure it was a rock at the time of the x-ray but I see now this definitely looks like a stone. It will continue to move, if it does not then you will see the GI doctor. I see this all the time and it is very normal and should be absolutely nothing". He was so great!
So I dashed out to get some prune juice for the girl - let's get this party started! Please pray! Pray it passes first of all. Secondly, pray it's not too bad for the miss. I'm hoping she can get it over with and this weekend will really "rock" for her :).
And sorry about the scares for all of you - by the time I wrote it I had already been through fear, guilt, frustration, fatigue, worry and a whopping extra load of guilt. I was ready to move on to humor!
She ended her day with a little Wii playing,
