Hello all,

We took Timmy in to the surgeon on Monday the 16th and he said that he thinks we should be going to Childrens at OHSU to have him looked at by a Pediatric GI to see what we need to do the coin is still in his stomach and has not moved in three weeks he also wants another x-ray on the 18th. I took Timmy for another x-ray on the 18th and good news more or less the coin is on the move and is now in his small intestine which means it is headed out but can also be considered bad news because we all have a valve with a big fancy name infront of our colon that it can get hung up at. Knowing Timmy it will...which will then require surgery to remove it. When we talked to the surgeon he told us all the things that can go wrong and not alot that could go right. The doctor called on Thursday and has requested that we go in for another x-ray on Tuesday the 24th and another office consult to let us know more about the coin, it's position and what we need to do. (it still involves squishing poo to see if Timmy is no longer collecting interest on his investment) We are still waiting to here from OHSU and are really hoping we don't have to take him in but if the doctors think we do then we do but with the storms going through here right now we really don't want to have to drive through the pass. When we have more imformation we will let everyone know what is going on. Sorry no pictures of the coin are available at this time.
