Woke up at 3:30 am to be at hospital for 6:30 admit. On time but nothing else was. Her platelets were at 52,000 and they started ore platelet meds and we walked her down to procedure room at 10:00 am. She was administered platelets and given her IV at that time as well. Dr. Monagas was out talking with his at 10:40 am. The scope itself went well. No visible varice to band though he did barely see one forming. Her stomach is really, really red though which could be from her portal hypertension. Danny and I have not done anything different diet wise besides exercise and supplements. We have stopped the supplement to see if that is the culprit. He gave her another medicine to take and increased her nexium to 2x per day instead of one. Her hematologist wanted her to have an additional unit of platelets so those were administered. She was not a happy patient and would not allow them to take her labs so we are not sure what her platelet count is right now. She has follow up with her GI in 8 weeks and her 10th scope 8 weeks after that. This is the longest we have gone and I'm thankful for that but it makes me somewhat nervous at the same time. Praying for no bleeds, steady platelet counts and safety!
We are getting really excited about my Godchild/niece making her grand entrance into the world! Amy went to the dr last Friday and he indicated that he thinks sometime in the next two weeks (including this week)!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!! We all guessed a day....I say July 6, Rylee July 8 and Danny said "next week"! We are all super excited and looking forward to the new addition to our family!
As always keep praying for Rylee!
Love,
Brandi
