Good News!
The GI doctor just came in to check on him. He is progressing him to a full liquid diet, and said that he is going to keep him on oral steroids for probably a month to make sure they get all of the inflammation gone. He will be on a low fiber diet for at least 2 weeks once he goes home and will have to follow up with several doctors visits to determine the other ways they will treat the Crohn's. We are not a fan of this doctor, so Rubin is planning to follow up with someone else once he leaves here...which could be TOMORROW!! We were planning on Tuesday, so if he could go home tomorrow that would be wonderful. We still have to talk to the other doctor (who will interpret what this GI doc actually said to us - he is horrible at explaining things) and she should be by anytime. If anyone knows of a good GI specialist please share! It sounds like Rubin will have to become good friends with one from now on...

amie, I had a GI doctor through CDH his name started with a B...darn I can't remember him, but he was wonderful! Very gentle, warm, and answered all questions. He was older too...I wonder if you can go on a website and find out who it might have been...hmmm I will try and find papers for when I had my colonoscopy and see if I can find out his name...I am so glad though you get to go home sooner than what was excpected. Again, any help you need, PLEASE let me know!
