Karo Syrup Cure?

Ah another day in frustration paradise! Guimauve got his blood drawn today for the previous mentioned tests. Then it was time for the barium study. Just as a preliminary, radiology took lateral radiographs (on his side) to see if he had any food in his stomach. Guess what?! Even though he had not eaten since 6 pm and it was about 11 am, he still had food in his stomach. So much for the barium study!

The decision was made in the afternoon to do a fine needle aspirate of his mesenteric lymph nodes to rule out lymphoma before we do any more diagnostics. I will know the results in the morning.

However, in anticipation of a possible endoscopic biopsy of his intestine. Dr. Costa gave me Karo Syrup for his dinner today (6/27). She said it was mostly so I felt better because he has not eaten anything in over 24 hours. I think she feels guilty. Funny part was, tonight he was acting like his normal self for the first time in awhile. He was stealing my socks and was just a ball of energy. Maybe I should invest in this sweet elixir...

Crossing fingers biopsy tomorrow, answers by Thursday!
