Updates, old and new.

OLD UPDATE:

Dr. Rao gave us the straight scoop on the echo, and said that the eco is just one of the things they use in evaluation a child, and since all of Gabi’s indicators are all good, he isn’t concerned. It just stays as something to keep an eye on, and when he compared results side by side, he said there wasn’t much change to be concerned with.

NEW UPDATE:

Gabi started to throw up some blood today. A little at first, then right before lunch a lot more. We had a bunch of trouble getting though to the ONE GI Doc that was able to explain things after Gabi’s last surgery, so we just decided to head up there. Having seen enough of this sort of thing, I think our “on the ground” opinion outweighs some standoffish GI secretary 100 miles away.

My mom was able to ride up with Teri and Gabi and be the eyes in the back seat in the case of some excitement, but the only excitement was Gabi’s unending love of peek-a-boo, thank goodness. They got to Milwaukee were able to get just enough blood to run some tests. I just got off the phone with Teri and they were admitting Gabi, and sending the transport team in to get an IV into her. Once they get the results back they will know how much blood she lost, and if she will need a transfusion to pink up a little. Overall attitude is good on all counts, and once I have some more concrete information I will post it.
