So we came home to KC to have the liver issues checked out.
Yesterday she went to her PCP, and he was alarmed by her white blood cell count. It is indeed her gall bladder causing her issues, and there was talk of removing it last night. But her other blood work looked good, so now...we wait. It will come out sometime between Monday and Thursday. She has been feeling better since last weekend, but has been really lethargic and sleepy. We just want her back to 100%...wish they'd just pull the damn thing out now. :-b

Same thing happened to me bro, spent 4 days in the ICU trying to figure out what was wrong. Often the best choice, in an acute attack, is to do with her what they did to me, send her home on ATB for 3 or 4 weeks and "cool" her down from the acute event. Then bring her back in a few weeks and take it out. Experience has shown them that doing it that way has a better recovery and outcome. Doing it when it is acute, every thing is hot and inflamed, scar tissue is worse afterwards, chance of infection higher, etc. I know that is not what you want to hear but it is best that way. Good luck...
