Update

We met with Dr. Liu and he was awesome! We explained Junie's situation and he thought it was either strictures or intestinal adhesions. He thought the first step would be an Upper GI with a Small Bowel Follow Through. We put on this cute outfit.

The radiologist was really great too. Scotty was a total rock star. 

For the first hour things looked totally normal.
 
But then as the barium made it to the lower part of his small intestines it was really obvious that it didn't look like the rest. The Radiologist said that it was obvious that there was some adhesions or strictures causing his bowel to become distended. He said that he would write the report and I would have to discuss that results with Dr. Liu tomorrow.
I know that some of the possible options could be surgery or dietary restrictions. I will find out more tomorrow.  My worst fear has always been that something would happen to Scotty's guts again. But being right here in the middle of this I feel very peaceful. I am so thankful for that. Scotty ate a cheeseburger, chips and a Fizzy Izzy on the way to school this afternoon. Wonder if he'll have a tummy ache later?!?! Ooops!
