Life is wonderful and difficult... and I am grateful!

Liz's labs, drawn Monday, aren't so great. Her Prealbumin is back down, she is anemic, her white count is low, and just as I suspected- she is dehydrated. Tomorrow we'll spend the day at the hospital. She'll get IV fluids to help with the dehydration and she will head to the procedure room in the OR for an endoscopy, bravo chip placement and colonoscopy. Earlier we were told she'd just have a sigmoidoscopy, but given her anemia and symptoms, the team would like to do the full colonoscopy.... which has meant having to do the prep. Poor Liz has had to go through the clean-out prep so many times, and it is hard to make her do it again. She got a super cute beach bag in return, and that helped ease her reluctance a bit ;) She is just so amazing with all she endures- over and over and over again. Please pray for our girl's tolerance tomorrow. Also, in the past she has had a rough time after colonoscopies. We are praying she won't have the awful pain she's had before. In March, she actually did well with it and we are hoping for tomorrow to be the same. Thank you.
