News about my sister...question about a test.

[Guest guest]

My sister is still very ill from pancreatitis. However, she is now

in the University of Michigan hospital getting better testing and

care. It is not believed that her pancreatitis is chronic as of now.

They have done cat scans and did an endoscopy today. The dr believes

it might be a result of high tryglyceride levels, but they are not

sure yet. SO now she is on a medication to combat this. If this does

not solve the problem, they are going to do a risky procedure. I was

not the one at the hospital today to find out what this is. My

father was told that it has a 30% risk of mortality and this test is

done where they actually look inside the pancreas. Does anyone know

anything about this test? I pray to God that she gets better. She

has been so sick since May. I feel sorry for anyone who has this

awful disease and you all are in my prayers. Take care and goodnight.
