Here it goes again...

I have had a lot of people ask me lately what's been going on with Wilson, so the easiest thing is just to write this out. Saturday night, after Trick or Treating with some friends, we got home to find Wilson was having severe diarrhea. It was several times an hour for 48 hours, and is till happening, but less often now. All of the specialists agree that it is not a virus of any type, nor is it an allergic reaction (which was our original guess.) At this point, we are lost and confused. I am tired of this hitting us all of the time. I want my baby to be better, so we have decided to do another surgical procedure November 17. It will be at Children's hospital Liberty Twp campus. This is the soonest we can get him in, and until then, the doctors worry Wilson will stay this way. Hopefully when they search Wilson's body, they will be able to find whatever's causing his body to react this way. He is still happy, energetic, and typical Wilson. We just want to know what is causing the abnormal reaction to foods, whether it be diarrhea or allergies. Our main concern at this time is dehydration; Wilson does not like juice, pedialyte, Gatorade, etc. He mainly likes milk and water, so I am encouraging it as much as possible. I fear potty-training, which has been going well, will also have to be put on hold. There is no way we can expect him to make it to the restroom at this point. This procedure is similar to the one they did last December, but the doctors are hopeful they can find something at this point and go from there treating Wilson. There are numerous things that could be going on, we're just not sure at this point what is what. Several of his stool samples have returned elevated, which is causing a bit of alarm. The MD performing the procedure is out of town until the 16th, which is the reason for the delay, otherwise they way the nurses have spoken, I think they would want it to be done sooner. Please keep us in your prayers as the next two weeks come, I'm just not sure where to go.
