Miranda At Gastro Dr. office December 23rd. She was in so much pain she nearly collapsed and we had to get her into a wheelchair while she filled out paper work.
Miranda in examining room at Gastro dr. office as you can see she was in A LOT of pain. Gastro Dr. took one look at her and started ordering a special CT Scan, blood work, urine tests, stool culture etc. and sent us across the street to Mount Carmel To have all of this done the same day.
Miranda drank 1 and a half bottles of this horrible barium drink for her CT Scan. I didn't think she was going to be able to hold it down because she was in so much pain and nausea's but some how she did and they got the CT Scan done.
After being at Mount Carmel West Hospital and Gastro Clinic from 9:20 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. we finally made it home. Her arms looked pretty horrible from all the blood they had to draw for the blood tests along with hooking up her IV for the CT Scan. But we made it through and will know something this coming week. The Doctor also did another med. change, put her on predisone and took her off the Entocort. The Dr. also officially diagnosed her with Gastroperesis. Along with the Crohn's Disease and the Stage 2 Damage to her esophagus
Miranda Christmas Eve day smiling through the pain. The Couch became her little haven for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as family and friends came to visit and exchange gifts

Miranda Christmas Day. She was still in pain but not as much as the 23rd and the 24th
She is smiling because a friend donated nearly 15 pounds of yarn Christmas Eve, for her ministry project "The Smitten Mitten Expedition" Where she crochet's and knits hats and scarves for the homeless in our area. Miranda was trying out her new Knitting Looms for the first time and was so excited at how easy they were to use, and it helped her work through the pain that the Crohn's seems to constantly have her in.

Please Continue to pray for Miranda and the Doctor's that some how some way they can find a way to put the Crohn's into remission and that Next Christmas Miranda will be able for the first time in 4 years be able to spend it with her family and travel to see them.---Jeremy Caverley
