So the good news is, Savannah came home from the hospital today. We still don't have the results from the endoscopy, but at least she ate a little food today and it stayed down. She seems to be in a considerable amount of pain, but is still her sweet, good-natured self. If you touch her tummy she starts shaking and whimpering and it's so hard to see her in pain. She's definitely stressed and anxious. I cannot leave her sight or she starts crying. But tonight she seems a lot less anxious than she was earlier, so I'm hoping a less stressful environment than the hospital will help.
And the bad news. My stepdaughter Kelly was admitted to UCSF Medical Center today. She apparently was having flu-like symptoms yesterday and the day before. When her mom called her today to see how she was doing, Kelly couldn't put together her thoughts and words to form a sentence. She was taken to the emergency room and later admitted. She had a CAT scan tonight that came back clear, as well as a spinal tap to check for meningitis. That came back clear as well. They wanted to do an MRI, but she became too agitated and got up out of the MRI machine and walked out of the room. They gave her some Ativan to settle her down and they will try to do an MRI again tomorrow. Right now it doesn't look like she had a stroke, but it's still a possibility. She still can not speak much---she just occasionally says a word that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what she was asked. I am so heartsick tonight. And my husband is devastated.
The no news: no results from Savannah's endoscopy. No definitive test results for Kelly.
