Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Well I don't even know where to begin. We got to the hospital on Wednesday and they put BJ on TPN. The GI doctor on call came in and went through the plan with me which was to give him a few days of bowel rest with TPN and then to figure out which formula to put him on and place an ng tube. Well this is what we found out Friday morning. In August when we had BJ scoped, they gave us the wrong results. His results were completely normal and clean of eosinophils. We were told that the results were bad and that they showed eosinophils all over hence our GI doctor (who was not the one on call this time) prescribing Gastrocrom, Prednisone and the Neocate. Never mind the fact that we hadn't fed our son in 3 weeks, only letting him drink the Neocate when it wasn't necessary. So, we ruined his teeth for no reason. The doctors there agreed with our dentist that the Neocate had done this to BJ's teeth mostly because of the fact that every time he takes a drink, he holds it in his mouth for minutes before swallowing it. I just can't even describe how MAD I was. The hospital is launching an investigation into what happened. I signed BJ out of the hospital. NOW, not only do we not know what is wrong with BJ now (The on call GI doctor was very concerned by his stools and undigested food in them) but we put our kid through HELL for no reason. His eos count in his blood is still very high. What does that mean if there are no eosinophils in his scope?
