Jeremy was seen by Dr. Kay at Cleveland Clinic on Thursday. The good news is that she was very thorough and did a complete review of all of his records. She spent 3 1/2 hours with him for his initial visit. The bad news is that every diagnosis she thinks he may have are all the ones we have been praying he doesn't have. Currently they are saying he probably has Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis and chronic pancreatitis and is at risk for osteoporosis. They are running alot of labs on him that were not done previously and they did a bone density study as well. He will have a repeat colonoscopy and endoscopy the week before Thanksgiving. His meds were changed and are now more in line with the recommendations of Bert's friend from Florida. There were some areas we were not happy with from his previous hospital so he will be following up now with Cleveland. It was a long trip and the news was pretty discouraging but Jeremy has maintained an upbeat attitude through this all. We both felt that Dr. Kay and her staff were more thorough, professional and were going to do everything they could to help him.
We'll update his blog as we learn anything new with him.
PS: MY MOM WROTE THIS POST!!!! And Cleveland really rocks. We are so going to stay with them!!!!!!
