A Push for More Answers

Paul Sr. is going to call the Diagnostics Center today and see if there are any cancellations. We both feel Jr. can't wait until April 1st to be seen. I have called the pediatrician and left a message for her to call me. I want to see if we can get a CT Scan of his abdomen. Apparently, the ultrasound is good for checking enlargement of organs but not at all a good source for picking up tumors. Both of us feel there has to be something that caused this adrenal malfunction. Whatever it is, his organs are just not working in sync. I know a CT Scan has plenty of radiation and can cause harm in itself, but we have to know in our hearts that he doesn't have some hidden problem that was overlooked. Thinking back to the Upper GI; well it took Paul 5 hours to complete the test and he only drank 1/4 of the Barium required because it had strawberry syrup in it and was making him vomit. No wonder it making him sick, it was loaded with sugar. With these circumstances in my mind, how can I be sure the GI test was accurate? Now he is defecating but only a small, small amount. It was never normal for him to even miss one day. Last week, he missed 5 days! He is eating far more food than he is excreting. It has to be totally peutrifying in his system. Truthfully, I think he needs a colonoscopy too. Paul, Sr. said "what if his large intestines are twisted" which of course hadn't even crossed my mind. Would the plain x-ray pick up a tumor or twisting? The pediatrician reassured me in our last conversation that Paul didn't have cancer, and said it would've shown up in the Upper GI or other tests, but we need to free ourselves from these worries and eliminate this as a possibility. If he doesn't have a tumor, the Licorice Root will have its place in healing him with time.
