A blog written as I journal my way through the ups and downs, the fair and unfair, the joys and disappointments.... all while remembering how very grateful I am.
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.
