Update

Adam is tolerating the Flagyl well, and it seems to actually be helping his symptoms. 1 bowl movement during the night opposed to 5 or 6, and not nearly as many during the day. In fact, we went out to lunch yesterday for his 30th birthday, and he didn't even have to take a bathroom break during the meal. He thinks food is possible staying in him longer as well. That is good. He isn't having any pain before a BM either. We're not sure what to think at this point. Right now we are cautiously optimistic. K does not believe this is what caused his colitis. She tested him for it two years ago and he didn't have the C.diff. Most people don't tolerate the Falgyl, so we are lucky Adam seems to handle it well. If we can get things under control we might be able to control the Colitis with meds.

Also...the biopsy came back and there is no sign of displasia! Yay!!

There is still the unresolved issue with the pituitary gland. We will be in contact with K on Monday with more follow-up.

Adam has been a real trooper through all of this. It is so refreshing to see a glimmer of hope in him again and see him feeling better.

More updates to come!
