Hi, I am glad I found this place. My mom, who lives far away was suddenly hosp.

for pancreatitis. She has had " terrible tummy " bouts for years but this time

both ends. While in hosp. there was a call she took a turn for the worse and

family to come immediately, Her heart stopped but the defibilator started it

again. I am scared to death. She is in ICU and I can't talk to her.

Any good place to read more about this disease and what to expect? Sorry we have

to meet in this manner.

Janet,

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's serious condition. It must be

difficult for you having her so far away where you feel like you

aren't in tune with each latest development in her condition.

One good place to start to find information about pancreatitis is our

library at:

www.top5plus5.com/

This pancreatitis library is full of information about pancreatitis,

acute, chronic, heriditary and other causes, and has other files

available that explain just about everything a person would want to

know about the disease You can also browse through our messages and

read anything you're interested in that might help you understand more

about what your mother is dealing with.

Feel free to post any questions or comment on any post that may

interest you. We have a wonderful group of people here with tons of

experience, all who are anxious to teach you what they know and help

finds answers for that which they don't.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
