I agree with the line of thinking that MargD laid out a few posts above. If he is eating and drinking and not in too much obvious pain, I would do my best to keep him comfortable and happy at home for now. That could mean confining him to a smaller, safer area while you are at work. Think about...

Hi Michelle, I am a relative newbie to all of these issues, but I have an 11-year-old with pancreatitis and suspected IBD who also went through the blood work, ultrasound, food trials, and is now 6 weeks in to Prednisolone. I feel like I've learned a lot in a short period of time about these...
