Re: Back from another colonoscopy

[Guest guest]

I'm pulling for you and hubby. I had been dx with

Chron's and lived with that for 8 years, then I almost

died due to swelling, and another took over and he

thought it was UC. So I lived with UC for 8 more

years until dysplasia was found....I had been dx 1

year earlier with PSC...so I went to Cleveland Clinic

and has the jpouch surgery (that is the internal

pouch), but because of PSC they had to do it in 2

steps instead of 1 step surgery.

I am at the high end of success, as with the jpouch,

well, I make 3-4 trips a day to the bathroom...which,

with those IBD's is pretty dang good!!!

We're hoping maybe he won't have to have a colectomy, at least not yet. We see

his

hepatologist next Wednesday so we'll know more about how his liver is doing

then. He says

he knows bile is getting through because when he goes to the bathroom, it's neon

green. I

told him he's pooping an alien. LOL Funny thing is, we go to the dr next Tuesday

to hear our

baby's heart beat for the first time and then go to his dr on Wednesday to see

how things are

going.

He developed a low grade fever last night. It was only around 99.2 but his

normal body temp

is low so for him, 99.2 is a fever. He always gets sick after these procedures.

I just hope he

doesn't end up in the hospital again. He had me call the dr who did his

colonoscopy

yesterday because the first time he went to the bathroom afterwards, it was dark

brown. They

said just to keep an eye on it and watch out for bright red blood. He was up and

out the door

for work this morning before I was eve out of bed so I don't know how he's doing

today.
