I have a leak, not the flu!

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

    I was in the hospital for 17 days total. Originally we started with a CT scan the night I ended in the hospital, then a swallow test the next morning. I was almost 3 weeks out when my leak was detecte

How did you notice that you had a leak?

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.

That just stinks! I'm sorry you're going through this, but glad you have it "diagnosed." You'll be up and around before you know it.

Feel free to post and vent, we're here for you. :)

Wow, glad you are getting the care you need! How far out are you?

Oh Sannah I'm so sorry you're having problems with this :( I hope everything is smooth sailing from here on out

Sorry to hear that, but glad they caught it quickly. Glad you're doing better and hope you feel better soon.
