And the Doctor says...

Last night after the last update Matthew ended up having a really bad night.  He went to bed with a really bad tummy ache.  I woke up to Ryan helping Matthew get cleaned up.  Ryan woke up to Matthew moaning, only to find out he got sick all over his bed while sleeping.  Ryan went in to check on him and he was sound a sleep.  So he woke him up and cleaned him up and brought him to me.  We were worried because Matthew didn't even know he go sick until Ryan woke him up and told him.  So then Matt was sleeping with us and woke up crying because he needed to go to the bathroom.  Ryan picked him up and rushed him in only to find out that he had an accident in our bed. :( Bed 2 clean-up then took place.  So I kept him home today to see how he was and to get a hold of Matt's doctor. 

 

Well I talked to Dr. Tung and the IBD nurse Jessica.  They are going to do some more stool samples and blood work.  The blood work will come on the day of his infusion.  They will poke him for the treatment, take the blood, then flush and hook up the IV.  One poke = happy Matthew.  Another test came back from the EGD.  Matthew is in fact Lactose intolerant.  So back to the lactaid milk and Lactose pills.  They are also prescribing omeprazole too.  So I guess for now we will just see how the new (added) meds go.  We are still on for Friday Remicade so we will see how it goes after that.

 

Thanks for all the well wishes on Facebook.  We really appreciate it!
