Ultrasound

Last night was a long one.  There was little sleep for either of us.  E. had some severe pain and constipation issues.  I wound up calling the Home Health Nurse, who came over at about 9:30 or 10:00 p.m. to help.  Unfortunately, there wasn't a solution to be had and E. refused to go to the Emergency Room.  Up and down, up and down, all night long.

By morning, things were a tad better, but not much.  E. did manage to get his ultrasound done, but by the time he got home, he was throwing up.  There just didn't seem to be an end in sight to the pain.  The family doctor called and explained that while the ultrasound showed some fluid retention in his abdomen, there wasn't the massive amount she expected to see.  She was going to fax the report to his GI doctor to see how they wanted to handle the situation and if they wanted to drain the fluid.

I'm hoping for a good night sleep for everyone tonight.
