Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Thank you Karyn, Heidi and for the info! We are moving my mom to a better hospital that has a GI clinic next door. She is still on antibiotics and her temp shoots up to 101 about 4-5 times a day. The current doctor says that her pancreas is not infected, but gives no explanation for the fever and white blood cell count being elevated. She is on Demerol for the pain, but seems to be asking for it a little less. Her pain is in her abdomen and back, and her stomach looks a tad swollen. Things should look better soon. The GI doc will help a bunch I am sure - her current doc is a surgeon and I really think he is lost on this but does not want to admit to it. Thanks to all of the postings on here and the links provided I am learning more and more on Pancreatitis. I will post again this week when I get actual answers from the new doc. Thanks Again Everyone! Oh yeah, I live in Louisiana. She has been in Avoyelles Hospital, but will be moving to Rapides Regional Medical Center (the difference is like night and day lol).
