Shelby in ER

4:47 p.m.
We've been here a while now this afternoon and still really don't know anything yet. For about a week she's had intermittent tummy pain that now has gotten worse. She had an abdominal x-ray at Immediate Care Sunday night that showed some "backed up" stool, but we did a clean out on Monday and thought all was good. She made it about 1/2 a day at school today. We're waiting right now on lab and x-ray results. Prayers please.

6:44 p.m.
All labs have come back as "Shelby's normal" except her
Alkaline Phosphatase is elevated (and it is normally NOT). A CT scan with oral and IV contrast has been ordered. Her tummy pain keeps coming and going.

10:09
CT done. Waiting for results....Doctor just came in. CT looked fine. Showed a lot of stool. They are giving her a dose of Levsin (she's already on that; they're just giving her a larger dose) and sending us home. We are to follow-up with her GI doc in the a.m.

I am sorry she was in the ER, praying she is doing ok now! I found your blog via Liver Families, hope you don't mind if I continue to follow it! Thanks, Terri
