Heard back on the pathology reports from last week's endoscopy and colonoscopy: no inflammation and no celiac disease. Which is great news!
An MRI on Jack's lower back is scheduled for Friday to rule out any pinched nerves or tethered cord. Next week, we'll meet with the GI doctor again to go over the MRI results and talk about going to a colon motility specialist (someone who will oversee and assist with getting Jack's colon back to a normal diameter).
There does not appear to be a short easy fix to all of this. *sigh* And the GI doctor said that there's not much we can do to help with Jack's pain. Which is incredibly disappointing and frustrating. I'm going to try and assimilate Jack back into his regular routine (mother's day out, church, etc), but he is very hesitant. He's quite aware of the screaming and yelling he lets out when he's having a pain episode.
