HIDA Scan on Thursday

Shaylee goes in for her HIDA scan on Thursday morning at 10am. Tara will be taking her since she has the day off and I don't. Shaylee is really really tired of her stomach hurting, but she's getting better and trying to not think about it.

The HIDA scan will start with a saline lock/IV with them injecting the contrast into it. They will scan for an hour, then add some CCK which will make the gall bladder function like she has eaten something. Then they will scan some more while they watch the gall bladder work. After that, she's done. The scan should take about 1 1/2 hours total.

We still haven't heard from the GI doc about a cancellation. Bummer. We're so hoping to get her in sooner.
