A crazy few days

So I am currently hooked up to morphine and fluids at the hospital. It has been a crazy few days...

Wednesday we went in for our pre chemo bloodwork. We saw the doctor and my liver enzymes were elevated. My white blood cell count was good. Also they tested my tumor markers again and they are stil in normal range. So that was good. Doctor was concerned about liver so she wanted me to have a ct scan. Options were there was a blockage or cancer had spread making my liver not function.

That was a pretty crappy day. We were pretty stressed. Luckily we were able to get in for a ct scan that evening. There was no spread!!
The next morning the doctor called and although they couldn't see a blockage, she wanted me to have an ERCP..something goes down through my mouth and checks out the liver and if necessary they can put a stint in to help drain the blockage. We did that in Kelowna Friday morning. The doctor said it wasn't totally blocked but he put a stint in anyways to help. Hopefully this will bring my liver enzymes down and I can have chemo on Wednesday.

After getting home yesterday I was pretty uncomfortable. The pain got worse thought the night, so at 5am will and I came to the Er. They gave me some morphine for the pain and did some blood work. I have pancreatitis, which is a possible complication from the procedure. Basically my pancreas is inflamed. It will fix itself in a day or two. I can't have anything to eat or drink though. That sucks. At least I will get unlimited morphine! I have to stay in the hospital until its resolved. Hopefully just a day but it could take a few days.

Anyways, I'm pretty comfortable right now. I think I will get pretty bored pretty quick though. And I really miss my kids. I haven't been around much the past few days. Thankfully we have awesome families who are taking turns taking care of the kids and helping us out.

Thanks for thinking of me!
