hospital update

[Margo]

Just got home from the hospital and have news.kat had some test run today and here is what they found. first they went down her throat and opened her swallow tube so she will be able to swallow better and they found a small ulcer in the stomach. thats it from the top. now from the bottom they found that her small intestins was inflamed not infected [I dont know the difference but that is what they said] said her small intestins was constricting and that is what is causing her so much pain. they took a biopsy and they are sending it to the lab for testing for a bug or parasites to explain the constricting. she is in good spirits and believe me she cant wait to get home. they have her on soft foods [flavor water] tonight and maybe solids tommorow. she hopfully will get to come home tommorw. Now I just want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for all the comments and prayers that you have sent. I thank you. oh yea as far as a hospital project you know she is not just going to lay around so she had me bring her her croucheiting needle and thread so she can make bookmark snakes. lol. thanks to all. your friend pete

Pete, you are such a sweet hubby! Thank you for keeping us posted on Kat's diagnosis. We will keep you and her in our prayers. I'm hoping that she will get "sprung" from the hospital real soon and you all will get back to your normal routine! Normal is good!
Blessings,

Thanks for the update. I don't the difference between inflamation and infection either - they both dang hurt. Glad to hear about the treatments they did do though. I have had them and they help tremendously. so keep the faith and we will continue praying. We need her smiling face back here. Hugs and love, Ann

Pete, thanks for the update. Take her plenty of yarn for the bookmarks and maybe if you bring her baby yarn she can start knitting hats for the newborns. Have been keeping you both in my prayers, as well. Judy in AZ

I thank you too Pete for the update. I'm praying for you as well as I'm sure this is a tough time for you. But one word of caution, don't take the videocam to the hospital or she will make you film a lesson on making those snakes! Sandy, I was thinking along the same lines as you were. EVERYONE will get a snake made for them lol! I am hoping this clears up quickly and especially that the pain goes away NOW!
