I'll wave frantically at the Chapel Hill exit. I wish I had time to swing through there, too! Next time.

Oh Meredith. She's got tummy issues. We've gotten to the point that she can eat eggs, bread, yogurt, and cheese, but her attempt at eating Swedish Fish yesterday didn't go well. *sigh* On the 12th we head to a GI specialist. She did not have a good time with the CT Scan today. Barium is nasty stuff, and Meredith had a heck of a time with the IV contrast. Syringes are not her friends. My poor baby.

Hee! God can be my co-pilot, but I'm not getting the bumper sticker! *huggles*

aaaaww! The poor young'un chicken! :O!! I hate for things to be wrong with the stomach...ICK! Barium IS nasty! *shudders* I sure hope they can find whatever it is quickly and get her in tip-top shape again. Those are just icky feelings. *huggles her*

I'll be listening and waving!! :D!! wheeeeeeee!! You know God could care less about a bumper sticker! *tightgrinhuggles* *loveloveloves* X)

Thanks. I hope they fix her up quickly, too. She's already lost several pounds - and she wasn't that big to start with!

What are things that contain bacteria?

Oh! I thought you meant can NOT

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Actually, the doctor told her to eat yogurt for the bacteria.

It's more 'I'll take bland food for $200, Alex."

*grins*

So is it the bacteria alreayd in her intestines that are causing harm to her? *Biology geek*

The cause of her poorliness is as yet undetermined.
