Helped needed right away for sick Child.

October 21, 2003

Hi Friends,

It Louie and I have had my daughter who is 28 years old to the ER, twice since

Friday and finally at 3am Monday morning they decided to keep her since her pain

was a 9-10. She was vomiting and has URQ pain into her back and Fatty and

yellowish bowels that burn when she goes to the bathroom.. Does this sound

familiar? She thought that she was having a gall bladder attack, but they did a

Hida Scan Monday AM and her doctor came into at 9:30 Monday night and said that

it's fine. If it's under 35, then it's gall bladder problems and hers was 75.

Her white Blood count is normal, which is normal for her. When she had

appenditis, it was even elevated then. Unfortunately she just like me in that

respect and doesn't run a temp either. Well, now they think it could be an

ulcer or GERD, But I not convinced. He said that her pancreas is fine, How

many times have we all heard that before? Maybe or should I say hopefully I

over reacting to her symptoms!!! This is her 5th attack in the past 2 1/2

years and the worse one yet. They are going to consult with a GI doc, to

possible do a scope. Do you think I should suggest an ERCP or MRCP, since the

Hida Scan was normal. Can anyone think of any test that would help get to the

bottom of her problems???? I really hope that I overreacting to her problems,

but I so scarred that it could be pancreas related. When it me, that's ok, but

when it's one of your children who is sick, I get so worried and scarred and

feel so helpless. I just want to see them get to the bottom of her problem and

get her out of pain , so she can lead a normal life. I know that being so worry

about her has made my pain level go up. I guess that STRESS and pain really do

go together. I never believed it before, but this past month, when it has been

very stressful around her. It's even effecting my husband , who is the original

Joe Cool and nothing seems to bother him. I was lucky to get 4 hours sleep last

night and now I have taken my pain pills for the pain I having and am so tired

that I can't sleep. I went to bed at 9:45pm and I still wide awake. I guess I

better try again to sleep since I want to be back out at the hospital around

9am. I hope this makes some sense, I'm to the point I don't think I even

thinking straight anymore.

As always, Thanks for listening and all you wonderful help.

Take Care,

Louie in WV
