Back in Hospital

I though I was done but...
We took Melissa to the ER late this afternoon(Sunday) because she was having severe abdominal pain. Melissa and I both thought that she really had the flu, since I had been sick with it a couple of weeks ago and the symptoms were very similar, but she had spiked a temp of 101 so decided after talking to the doctor on call to go to the hospital just to be sure. They did blood work and a CT scan. White cell count is up and the scan showed air in the abdominal cavity. Definitely more than the flu. They couldn't be sure if the air was in the right place so they wanted to do another one tonight where she had to drink the dye. Unfortunately she was not able to keep the dye down so they are waiting until Monday morning to do the test. She is getting pain meds and anti-nausea stuff. Her surgeon is calling in the infectious disease doctor she saw a couple of years ago, her GI doctor and perhaps a couple of more to see if there is something they are missing such as perhaps her immune system is compromised so she is not healing right.

Please pray that the doctors are able to figure out what is going on with her and help her and get her on the road to recovery.
