I AM.....

exhausted so this is going to be quick. Last night Ali was up with her sharp pains again so I took her back to Mission Hospital and told myself we were not leaving until we knew what the heck was going on....backtrack to last night....I got the results of Ali's pelvic ultrasound and she has a 1.6 cm cyst on her right ovary. Now normally I would be relieved because being someone that has grown up with these issues, I know that cysts are treatable and minor compared to what it could have been BUT- her pain is on the LEFT side! So, off we went this morning. I insisted they do a CT scan and more blood work so they did. CT scan was negative but the blood work showed that her platelet count was down again....darn those platelets! So, after 5 hours in the ER that's where we are. We have an appt. to go see a hematologist in the morning at the same hospital we were in Tuesday and Wednesday which is good since I left my sonicare there and they are holding it for me. (I'm trying to find the positive in this situation). Still no word on why she's having these pains. So aside from addressing this very serious issue with her blood, I am making her an appt. with my ob/gyn AND I am insisting on a GI consult from my regular doctor. AAAGGGHHHHH!!!! I am so frustrated! Anyway, that's about it for now. I am totally exhausted and hoping and praying that Jack let's me sleep tonight. Cross our fingers! I will update again tomorrow after our appt.
