as some of you know, zowi was diagnosed with atypical cushing's this past june...
this morning i woke up to my baby girl not feeling well, diarrhea and vomitting so her daddy took her to the dr. (i had to go to work) bloodwork showed a slight case of pancreatitis, high triglycerides, and high cholesterol, and xrays showed her bowels were full, so she's constipated. maybe the constipation is from the medications she is on for cushing's? she takes denamarin and hmr lignans once daily. thank god we caught this early, my angel nika (zowi's daughter) passed away from her 2nd bout (a very extreme and aggresive case) of pancreatitis, so hearing zowi has it made my heart sink. dr said she had to stay overnight on iv and be without food / water for 24 hours and if all goes well, we will have her back home tomorrow. she is going to work on finding a good diet for zowi to help with the cushing's, enlarged liver, and pancreatitis. (we are currently feeding blue buffalo small breed chicken & brown rice for over a year.)
they also went ahead and did her acth stimulation test that was scheduled for thursday today, since she already had to stay there. her pre and post stimulation blood samples will be sent to the university of tennesee endocrinology department again and it will take 2 weeks for the results and their recommendation of the next plan of treatment if there's no improvement from the melatonin implant and lignans.
it's not the same without her at home.
we miss her so much and so does pixie. this morning while zowi was getting sick pixie just sat right next to her staring at her and you could just tell she was so worried. please say prayers for my sweet girl zowi. thanks for listening. i will update tomorrow afternoon....
