JUST WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE THINGS COULDN'T GET WORSE......
I got to the hospital this morning to find Vikki even sicker than yesterday. They did a CT of her abdomen last night and then decided to do a head CT (no one called to advise me). Today's problem list has gotten much more complicated and now includes: pancreatitis and pancreas damage with possible bleeding in the pancreas; colitis; blood clots in the kidneys and kidney damage; blood clots in the spleen and spleen damage; a possible stroke with blood clots in the brain and possible neurological damage……multiple infections……ICU delirium and disorientation…..possible blood clot in the heart. How on earth does a human being endure all of this and bounce back.
They have done an ultrasound of the blood vessels in her arms and legs looking for more clots. They have done a echo cardiogram. They are setting up to do a colonoscopy. And they are planning to do an MRI of her head for more detail.
No results yet. No diagnosis. No treatment plan.
