So for those of you that have seen any of our status updates on Facebook over the past few months, you know that Justin is undergoing some medical "mystery" that no one can seem to diagnose... He says that the pain that he's been having has been going on for about a year & a half. In April, he had had enough... He went to the doctor where she proceeded to do blood work, an EKG, & a chest x-ray... Results were all normal. Nothing was found. Two weeks later he was still hurting... an ultrasound of his gallbladder was ordered; and guess what? It was normal too... One hot Sunday afternoon, he gets extremely sick and I meet him at the doctor's office, where they seem to be able to narrow it down to 3 conditions- gallbladder, hernia, or an ulcer... So up to this point, he has seen a gastroenterologist for the HIDA scan to check gallbladder function (NORMAL) and has had a endoscopy to check for an ulcer (NORMAL~ just a little gastritis)... So, this Friday after our 31 week OB visit, we get to head back to Southern Regional for a CT scan... Hopefully this will rule out anything else or at least tell us what's wrong... The only thing not ruled out as of yet is a hernia... Not as serious as the gallbladder, but a longer recovery. We just need all the thoughts and prayers sent our way that we can get... After this scan, there's pretty much nothing else to do...
