Tour of Seattle Children's Hospital

While we were in Seattle this past week we ended up at Seattle Children's Hospital. So here's the story. On Thursday Sophie started to have rectal bleeding without any stool. This continued through out the night. It was very scary and we took her to a pediatric urgent care and they checked her out. 

They decided to send us to Seattle Children's hospital ER. In the ER they decided to admit us to the hospital so they could do a Meckel's scan which would take several hours to prep. They did the scan the next morning and it came back negative. 

Next they wanted to do a colonoscopy but they couldn't get her in until Tuesday there in Seattle. So they have talked to the GI specialist at Primary Children's and they are going to call with an appointment for this week. Sophie has mostly stop bleeding, so I am not sure what they will do. Fortunately Sophie has seemed fine the whole time and has been a trooper.
