Hi guys, me again .Well the drs. backed out of the whipple

surgery they said she is too sick right now and they say it is too

dangerous of a surgery anyway. My dr. told me that there are 2

vessels that are really close to the pancreas and if they get damaged

at all then she wouldn't make it off the table. He said it would be

fatal.Guys I didn't think it was THAT bad .I mean I know that it is a

major surgery but I didn't realize it was that bad. If it means I

could lose her then its not even an option!She developed an infection

and her white count went back up to 21,000 This evening and they said

she has c-diff. (bacteria in the stool.) If it isn't one thing its

another. She is so depressed right now because she is still in alot

of pain . They are trying their best to keep her comfortable . She is

in isolation because of the c-diff.her lipase is still in the 600's

not for sure what her amylase is. but they are letting her eat a soft

diet. I didn't think you could eat when the enzymes are elevated I

thought you are supposed to stop everything. Has anyone heard of c-

diff and is it very dangerous?? deedee
