At 11:00pm Alexa had worse pains than the day before, this time in the middle of her stomach area and a bit higher. She couldn't walk when she had them, and the pain came in waves. So we went back to the ER as directed by her discharge papers. Even though we were just there a few hours earlier, we had to go through registration process again, which took time and Alexa was in lots of pain during it all. I called my dad to join us, since I had by then, started to feel the side effects of my shot treatment. So if we had to make an important decision, he was there to help me. THANKS DAD!
She had another IV inserted and more blood drawn to check her blood count again, her liver and pancreas. It all came back normal and they reviewed the original ultrasound from the other day and it did show her gall bladder as normal.
The ER doctor finally gave her a couple Tylenol once they ruled out surgery since her labs were normal. Then she was prescribed antacid medication and medication to help coat the stomach to help her with the pain before eating. Also the results of a test for an ulcer-like bug will be back in a couple days.
It is 3:30am and we are now home to conquer the night and hope these medications help her until the virus has left her body.
Thanks all!
