She’s avoiding using the bathroom because, well for lack of a better word it flat out hurts. The pancreas is more serious but her colon is also messed up, but last night she was able to go a little bit. How can you get milk with the protein and not get clogged? (She’s still on the carnation, bed and breakfast diet, she isn’t even suppose to be eating solid food yet but if you went 8 + weeks without eating, well you’ll understand her)
We still have a very long road ahead with an uncertain bump here and there, but as long as she can keep eating and not throw up..However I know that stresses the body and isn’t fun, she is due for another doctor visit in 3 months but had called him and is currently awaiting a call back.
Thanks to a few kind friends I now have saved $162, I hope we can keep this going as it’s only a baby step towards the $1000s we’ll need in the event she loses or needs a new pancreas. The ER said it is damaged but they sent her home, actually that ER had a doctor who ALMOST TOOK MY MOM IN FOR A OPEN HEART SURGERY and thank God himself that they caught the mistake in time.
When you wait at the ER from midnight to well over 11 AM in the morning you want any excuse to leave. So not trying that ER again, from what mom said it was unpleasant (imagine the 3 Stooges in her place but mildly kid friendly).
Other news we found out yesterday that my brother “might” be having a boy. What they did was, and keep in mind mom’s Bday is March the 1st, had somebody look at the results for them and stuck the gender color balloons in a box. That why all of us would be surprised, but that ultrasound I’m not entirely sure. My dad used an old “pencil and string” trick that, depending on how it turns, predicts the kids you have and are about to have.
So a little nephew, mom likes this as he’ll carry the last name. I seriously want her here to watch this baby grow, he is a strong thing to fight for but we still need all the help we can get. So if any of you want to donate (points on DA, money through paypal) or commission (a image or story) either ask me for the info or just look on my page for them.
For those who have commissioned/donated already, I can’t thank you enough for doing so. Even if this number doesn’t go up $162 is still better than I could had ever imagined. Feel free to share this update at the very least.
