Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi everyone, well Kristy done so good for about a week and the bottom fell out.She had an attack Tuesday evening and she was back in the ER. For some reason she has a white count of 26,000 and they can't find any other reason for it except for that nasty lil organ called the pancreas.They told her that her pancreas is swollen and that is probably the culprit.They decided that she has had enough and is going to schedule a surgery in a week.(for whipple surgery) They have her on a demerol pump and are keeping her pretty comfortable. They said they wanted to wait until her white count went down and they calmed the pancreas.Then they will do the surgery.So I guess were looking at the next month in the hospital.UGH!! I wished they could do it tommorow! Then we could start the recovery process. If anyone can give me any info. on whipple surgery I would appreciate it ..Thank You deedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
