Just a quick update. We got Mason's biopsy results back yesterday. His eosinophil number was 80, 15 is the cut off. His endoscopy in November was <1 and his endoscopy last September was 156. Eosinophil's are the allergens. Mason is back on his dairy free diet. Originally we were going to have him undergo any more endoscopies but after getting these results we have changed our minds. He is on medicine for the next two months to hopefully clear the eosinophils from his esophagus. He will then add potatoes to his diet and then after a month undergo another endoscopy in the hopes of being able to add that back to his diet. He was very disappointed but was a trooper with the news. We have decided that after the potato endoscopy we will allow him to have the occasional dairy. There is a chance he might outgrow the allergy. This is a fairly new disease and we are lucky to have a doctor that is educated on EE (eosinophilic esophagitis). After his appointment we stopped to pick up some food before heading to Mason's baseball game. Mason had a good game, got some great hits, and got the last out of the game. He was playing pitcher and got the ball and stepped on home before the other teams runner got there.
I'll write more hopefully tomorrow. It's been a busy week but just wanted to give you an update.
