Happy Anniversary, but did we have to celebrate this way!?!?

>>If you haven't read the post before this one, you may want to read it first<<

I titled this post Happy Anniversary - because it is. It is the 2nd anniversary of Trish's first admission to Hopkins. Now, why she had to celebrate by getting readmitted is far beyond me.

We now know why Trish felt pretty good after IPOP yesterday and REALLY BAD after we had some gelato. She has an enflamed gall bladder. They will treat her with antibiotics today and hopefully release her sooner than later. The fat in the gelato iritated her infected gall bladder, which may also be the source of her high billirubin -- which means once the infection is taken care of her billi should get back to the business of dropping. No guarantees, but we are hopeful.

Once again though her medical care, has put her on a diet that is contradictory to her need to gain weight. She is on a clear liquid diet. Jello, broth and drinks only. Had she not been feeling better and wanted the gelato, we may have never gotten the diagnosis she needed so it is a good thing I guess.

Dr. Griffiths came by and said Trish looked great! and she does, really....One of the many things we like about Dr. G is that she doesn't hide stuff, candy coat stuff. She just tells it like it is -- simple honest truth, just the way Trish likes it -- warts and all if need be. So we knew she wasn't just trying to cheer us up. She was also very happy to know Trish had a gall bladder infection, that could be why we haven't seen the improvements we were expecting to see.

More later....
