This is that specialized CT scan that is specific to the GI tract. This scan was completed yesterday morning, but we didn't get much information on the results until today.
Positives:
-the fluid collection behind the mesh has decreased since the last scan in KC. Very good news that could indicate that the mesh is not infected as previously thought.
-the small intestine was seen to be very minimally effected (which is fantastic news!)
-the anastomosis (where they hooked up the small to the large intestine in 2006) looked better than expected. We previously thought there may be a fistula here and that does not appear to be the case.
Negatives:
-the left side of the colon/large intestine is the most severely affected by inflammation
More good news than bad! Dr. Geisler needs to take a closer look at the CT, but trusts that this is the main info it will show us.
