Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I thought I'd give an update and see if anyone has any insight to what was found. Pearl had active inflammation is her esophagus and rectum and inactive (healing) inflammation everywhere else. He didn't go into the small intestine so we don't really know how much inflammation is there. He also found what he suspects could be a varice in her rectum. He said that he doesn't remember seeing it before but that it could just be the way her vein is made. He also said it is unusual for someone to have a varice in their rectum and not in their stomach or esophagus. Has anyone else experienced a varice just in their rectum or some random unexpected place? and I are obviously concerned. We've suspected something has been going on but all her liver numbers look good and her liver isn't enlarged. So there it is - any insight would be great!
