Hello,

I hope your doing well. Sorry I have been so slow to reply. I had a real hard time changing IV to oral pills and being in the hospital for the holiday was real hard.

I have a leak. The dr said a good one!! Care was very prompt. The day I went to the dr I had a ct and when straight down to endoscope for my first stent. I had swallow study and i am allergic to the contrast they use. I was in the hospital for 9 days on antibiotics. As it turns out my stent slipped, so I went back to endoscope and now have two stents in place.

Yesterday I met with an infectious disease dr, because he has access to more antibiotics than my dr. I am VERY allergic to antibiotics, and my dr wasn't sure which treatment plan she should use.

I was on some antibiotics theough IV at the hospital, but my kidney function was greatly affected and my blood pressure went of out control.

I am on pain meds and I hope everything I am writing is coherent.

I was able to come home yesterday. I feel pretty okay considering what's been going with my body.

I will have these two stents for 6 weeks and then have another endoscope to either remove both stents or replace them. I have a lot of antibiotics to take here at home and other medicine. I don't like to take medicine, so this is hard for me.

I generally feel exhausted and tired. But keeping my spirits up! :) one day at a time.

Thank you kindly for all the support.

Best,

Sannah

Prayers to you
