CT Scan Results: No Gastric Bleeding

They finished the CT scan at around 5 pm today. It came back empty - meaning that they did not find any bleeding on it. The doctors told us that they did not find any gastric bleeding and that they would talk to us further tomorrow. So, no conference today. We were not sure if we were going to have it anyhow, because we aren't sure if they are going to ask for one. Maybe they will ask for one tomorrow.

The one thing that they did find on the CT scan was that the contrast was not getting through his bowels. So, they are going to stop the feeds, because if contrast is not getting through, then likely the feed is not either. So they are backing off with the feeds - I'm not sure if they are backing off on the medication to help try and get a bowel movement. We will find out more in the morning.

Thank you!

  1. I hope that Collin gets better soon. He has the stregnth to pull through. I remember when Julie had brought him in to have his pictures done just before christmas, he has a smile that will brighten up a dark room! He is a STRONG young man and i could tell that when i met him. Please let Julie know that all of us at Sears Portrait Studio are thinking about Collin and he will be in our prayers.
