Josh had his ultrasound and fluroscopy test yesterday (a barium drink and then a series of xrays, then a break before another xray to see the barium lower down his system).
the barium study looked normal at first appearances but the consultant will review it, so the ditsnded bowel loop must have been an acute finding in a&e.
the ultrasound did not show regrowth of the lymphangioma but did show numerous enlarged lymph nodes in his mesentery (abdomen). he has had this in the past and it might account for some of the pain, it is interesting to see despite the strict diet he follows, so probably not caused by allergy.
they suggest repeating the ultrasound in 6 weeks to check if they are still enlarged and that it is not progressing
meanwhile we are awaiting the follow up appointment with the gastro dr.....
