I called as my husband said it would annoy them if I dropped in since it is an ER.
I asked what her dx is...she said Pancreatitis.
She did have the Ultrasound- no masses.
She is getting plasma because the pancreatititis seems to respond to that well. There was no fluid in her stomach/ her albumin was not low. All her blood work was fine but for the Pancreatic number. They sent PLI to idex to get an exact numbers for her Pancreatitis- how severe it is.
She was on fluid, is getting the plasma, taking anti nausea, anti inflam and a pain killer as well.
I will be going in to visit her later after the shift change and ask the one question I forgot - about doing the scope. My sister asked me to ask them about platelet count...but if her blood work was fine- wouldn't that be included? I asked if the blood work was fine 3 times. |
