Sick daughter
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 10:21 am
I know I am new and have been sporadic for the last week or so.
My 16 year old daughter is sick and has been in and out of the ER, local hospital and Children's Hospital for the last 10 days. She is being taken by ambulance today back to Children's Hospital in Little Rock AR and we we hopefully get the specialist to see her that are not available locally and get this thing figured out. Intense stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, will be fine on liquids and ok on soft food for 45 mins before it all starts over pain at a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10 with uncontrollable retching and then they have to hit her with Dilaudid, Morphine, Tordal, Zofran, Compazine etc.. just to get it to stop, then she is fine until she has to eat again. Was diagnosed at Children's earlier in the week with "Abdominal Migraines"...yeah I had never heard of it but is a long history of migraines in our family on both sides. It was a diagnosis of exclusion meaning it fit the symptoms but no way to know. I don't think that is it as it keeps happening, it could be anything she has had a ton of tests that all came back negative, afraid exploratory surgery may be last option. I may pop in from time to time but until this is all settled I probably won't be around much.
