I received a call this morning from the NP that Jessie's blood work taken on Tuesday was abnormal and she wanted her to go to the hospital right away. Her liver functions were extremely high. Jon came home from a class at work and we were in the ER around noon, I think.
Jessie fought, kicked and screamed getting the IV in, but the tech was very good and got it in the first time. She also had an abdominal ultrasound. Many thanks goes to the technician who did the exam while Jessie sat in a wheelchair and stood up. She has gall stones and something with the liver, although there are no masses or tumors in the liver. Praise God!
Our Gastro doctor was consulted, he ordered more blood work that takes 2 days to get results, so they sent her home. I think they would have kept her if not for the 2-day waiting period for blood work. Prayers would be appreciated that any of the gall stones do not move, and especially get stuck. That would not be good.
She seems to be good right now. She is happily on her iPad and playing with her cards. She doesn't want to go to bed, but Jon and I do !!!
