Mountains of frustration

There is not a whole lot to report from here. There is so much to report, I can't really report anything. We are currently waiting for the Infectious Diseases doctor to come in and consult with us. We started off the morning with a 102.6 temp and excruciating headache and abdominal pain. The resident came in and said it looked like the gall bladder is coming out. When the surgeon came in at noon, the gall bladder was staying and Infectious diseases was being called in. Then this afternoon, the GI doctor came in and said she was very sick, that her condition is rare and that her liver is sick as well. They left us with the possibilities of MRI's and scopes. He said there are several very scary possibilities, but he just wants to get the infection gone. The gall bladder removal possibility was back on the table. Talk of different types of Hepatitis and other horrors filled the consultation time. While we felt good about his knowledge and honesty, we felt horrible about the possibilities swirling in our heads. Then she started heating up and the abdomen started acting up. So they finally gave her tylenol and morphine and she wiped out. She nursed a cup of blue jello for hours. When she finally turned the corner, it was time to Face Time with her siblings. G and the boy were so excited to see her, but got really sad then it was time to say our goodbyes:




The tears came and I lost it. In a big ugly way. Hopefully we will get a visit from them tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Currently we are waiting on the infectious disease doc who was supposed to be here between 6:30 and 7. It is now 8:21. I just want a shower and some pillows so I can conk out on this sofa seat bed thing. Hoping for an uneventful night. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for our girl. Keep 'em coming!
