Rylee had her 5th scope this morning. We were admitted at 6:30, did the normal labs to check her current platelet level and other blood work and normal vitals. The dr came in and told us her platelets were at 50 so they decided to do platelet transfusion during scope surgery. They took her in at 9:00 am and after transfusion they began scope. Low and behold after sitting in the waiting area for 15-20 minutes Dr. Monagus walked in to talk to us. He said they took a look around from top to bottom like normal. She has one scar from a previous banding but that is not abnormal. She also has one very small varice at the very bottom of her esophagus that they did not band because it is too small. We do not have to have another scope for 3 months!! The better news is that her spleen has moved a significant amount upward more under her rib cage. The shocking news is he said he also noticed that in her stomach he can see veins that appears to be possible evidence that her body is shunting itself. If this is the case and it continues to present itself they would want to perform a test on her to see if it is and if so surgery may not be needed. But...this is all just speculative at the moment so we will just have to pray he is right. As far as her spleen, she would definitely have to have at least a partial removal. Regardless.
So we go back for blood work in one month, follow up in two and scope again in three! Great news for my baby today! I don't know who had the most shocked look on their face, me, my dad or my mom...Danny is always cool as a cucumber!!! None of this is definite and we never know what can happen, but we will run with what we received today and enjoy it for a while. We were discharged and are home. Danny talked Poppy into cooking steaks tonight, so off we go later to nana and Poppy's. As for me, I feel blessed today. I feel my maw maw with me and Rylee and I'm so comforted. We slept at her house last night and rylee and I fell asleep on her couch. Rylee wanted to sit where maw maw used to, so why move her. It was bittersweet. I miss her so much and I think about her constantly, but I know no matter what she is still by my side. Just like always..me and my maw maw!
As always, thanks for continuous prayers and support. Keep them coming!
