You're absolutely right!! She needs you!! I am a mom too. My daughter is 14 months now. Let me tell you time flies. Woo, I can't believe how fast!!

I am getting great care here. I had an allergic reaction to the material used for the swallow study. Not sure when I get to go gone. Hopefully sure. Thanks for checking
  8. Ct scan showed that I had a leak that stayed in the stomach lining, it was walnut size. It was cleaned out and a stent is in place. I will have a stent for 6 weeks while my stomach heals. Thank you everyone for the support and words of encouragement during this challenging time!!!

  12. 12 days out. Thank you for all the kind and well wishes. Best, Sannah
  13. It was not that painful and I was surprised to be admitted. I took a nap yesterday woke up to upper legs aching severely. Then hot( bedding covered in sweat) or so old my jaw was chattering. Called the on call, went in for blood work and learned my white blood cells were at 24 and 10 is normal. I was admitted and was rushed into cat scan and then rushed into endoscope where the stint was put in place. So here I sit in the hospital on three antibiotics, fever is gone, white blood cell count is at 12. Getting much better.
  14. My thumb is pointing to the leak. My white blood well count is down to 12, from 24, and 10 is normal Fever is gone. Stint is in place for 6 weeks. I am in three antibiotics and hanging in here. Stint
