Fairy Tale Ending...

I was visiting FlipFlopMama today checking in on her life and got a little carried away with her last post on Comparing yourself to a Disney Character. I started thinking of which character I could currently be compared to or which story my life could be carpared to...It was a little amusing!
So, I have made a comparison!
My character comparison is due to my current life!



I am Sleeping Beauty and Gavin is my Prince Charming!

HIDA... What?

Today I had a HIDA scan for my gallbladder...

( Is this the answer they need? Who knows!!!!)

A hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan helps evaluate the function of the gallbladder and the bile ducts. Doctors may also refer to this procedure as cholescintigraphy.

In preparation for a HIDA scan, a dye or other chemical (radioactive tracer) is injected into your vein. The tracer travels to your liver and then into the bile ducts. A special scanner placed over your abdomen tracks the movement of the tracer through your biliary tract and makes images of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.

A HIDA scan is used to diagnose:

• Obstruction of the bile ducts, such as due to gallstones or rarely, tumors
• Diseases of the gallbladder
• Bile leaks

It was the strangest test I have ever had done...
I got there and immediately got an IV just stuck on my rm, nothing was put in it yet. I laid on a flat table with a thing that looked like a flat x-ray machine over my abdominal area and a video screen in front of my face. Then they injected the dye into my IV. I was so strange, I could immediately see little star looking things all over the video screen in front of me. The the lady in charge told me all the places where my organs were and that the bright dots would all gather in my liver. I had to sit there for an hour and let the dots all gather in my liver... this was to simulate the bile in my liver that goes into my gallbladder. Then after an hour they gave me an IV drip with this chemical that would simulate that I had just eaten something and my gallbladder would have to go to work. I had to sit and wait for another 30 minutes while constant images were taken of what my gallbladder would do with this chemical. It was suppose to contract and sent the "bile" out into my intestines. I could watch all of this happen on the screen but really had NO clue what was going on. At the end of the 30 minutes the dye was all in my gallbladder, stomach and intestines. It looked like I had millions of little bright stars floating through my digestive track... really cool, but extremely nauseating!

About 3 hours later I was finished and ready to head home!

I have no clue when the results will be in, I am so hoping nad praying it will be soon and have some sort of result...
I am so sick of hearing " all looks good, who knows what is causing your issues??"

I of course do not want BAD news I just want SOME news!

I will keep ya posted!

A Little info...

I have gotten a few emails from my bloggin' buds asking where I have been lately... So, I am guessing it is my time to share my news with you guys.
For the past 4 weeks I have been really sick with digestive issues. This same thing happened almost a year ago when the doctors thought they were going to have to remove my gallbladder... Last week I went to see a specialist who did some tests with biopsies on my intestines and then today I had a sonogram on my gallbladder and abdomen. I am waiting for results of all the tests which I have been told are being rushed ordered and I should know something by this afternoon. I have always had some sort of digestive issue really my entire life, starting as a child I supposidly was a little lactose intolerent and then when I was 20 I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After I had Travis I got re-tested for Celiac because I was having other issues and the test came back negative. Either I was mis-diagnosed before or by some miracle my pregnancay cleared it up... who knows??? Then in the last 2 1/2 years since I have had Travis about every 3-4 months I would get sick. I would blame food poisoning or the stomach flu or that I had just over eaten or something... really anything to give myself a reason for feeling awful. The more it would happen the longer it would last. This time it got so bad at one point that my doctor was telling me to go to the ER. Normally I would hop on the banwagon and head right there, but this time I knew I would not like the results I would recieve so I just sat at home and tried to let it pass. Now I am 2 weeks passed the worst point and am still sick and still begging the doctors for results. I would say yesterday I hit rock bottom when I cried to my Doctor to help me find something because I can not live my life like this any longer, it is not fair to me, my son , hubby, friends or my parents. My dear mom takes every boo-boo to heart and I cant imagine the stress my sickness has caused on her with her quickness to worry! (I guess that runs in the family!) I have had a wonderful support system which is what is really needed when you are hanging in limbo waiting for answers... One of my best girlfriends is currently going through a similar issue and she has been so wonderful calling and checking on me even though she is not 100% right now either... ( LOVE YOU "L") Anyways, that is the news... I wish it was something wonderful but unfortunetly it isnt. My biggest fear is that they will find nothing and I will have to live like this until another symptoms shows itself and another doctor decides to take action. All I really want is an answer, something to make these last 2 + years of living with this nasty problem make a little bit more sense!

Totally BUSTED!
