For the past three months or so, Sam has been complaining of stomach pains and nausea. I've had him to his regular pediatrician several times and even to the ER once. Today, he went to a pediatric GI specialist. They took blood and some X-Rays, and Friday he goes for an ultrasound. Hopefully, we'll know something soon.
So far, the only thing they can tell us is that an enzyme in his pancreas was slightly elevated, and although pretty much his whole abdomen seems to be tender, it is most tender around the area of his gall bladder.
The doctor today prescribed three different things to ease his symptoms. I'm hoping they will help him be able to eat better. When a 15-year-old boy starts eating only one meal a day, you know there is something seriously wrong!
