Layla's Appointment.

Here's what we found out at Layla's appointment today:

Most probable: Something "structural." Meaning, a valve doesn't open or shut as it should, there's a kink in her intestine, something is irritated or rubbing wrong causing air, gas, vomit to come out, etc.. On April 19th, Layla has another appointment. She will drink barium and they will take many pictures of her (x-ray) as it digests and goes through her system. She has to have fasted. And, the procedure will take hours they said. Please pray for us!

Other options: Celiac disease. She was tested for this today. Will know the results in a couple of days. Bacteria of some sort. I think this would be found through a scope? This is also an option as her gas (burps and toots) are very, very stinky. Brain lesions. These are often discovered through vomiting during nighttime. However, since Layla's vomiting is intermittent, probably not. Even so, not even going there! Some syndrome or disorder that they explained as migraines in the stomach. Didn't exactly understand all about this.

Today was a big talk, talk, talk day. Unfortunately, Dallas was in and out so much with Layla having to go potty, so he didn't hear much. I felt so overwhelmed when we left with everything she threw at me, and can hardly remember what went on!

I know she for sure thinks this warrants further investigation. I also know the team down there is awesome. She was explaining that they are a tight group of five, and all communicate often about their cases. They feed off each other and offer ideas and insight. Good to hear, considering they are dealing with my precious gem. I also am positive that Layla was awesome! She is the best little patient. They even said so! After they drew her blood she told them, "Thank you." She always picked out two stickers, one for her and one for Mamena. Made her mommy and daddy very proud. But, what I am most certain of, is that Jesus is the ultimate Healer. Of course thinking of all the possibilities and the road to finding them (scope, drinking metal, potential surgery at some point, etc.) is terrifying to a momma. But I have access to the One who performs miracles, the One who cares more about her than even I do, and the One who already knows everything that is going to happen.

Thank you, everyone, so much for caring. I can not thank you enough.
