Wednesday, April 6

The head to toe scans last night showed no broken bones or internal bleeding so we are very thankful for that. They have done an additional CT scan on her shoulder for a closer look because she is having so much pain there. We have not heard results back on that. They have put a cervical collar on her neck (a bit uncomfortable) just as a precaution until they get results. She isn't feeling so good right now

The blood transfusions were completed late last night and that seems to have addressed the anemia for now.

They have now ordered an abdominal CT scan. We aren't sure why but think this is to check out further the Pancreatic cyst which was discovered back a month or so ago when she was in ICU, but appears to be a bit larger now from yesterday's scan. At that time (month or so ago) they said they were going to leave that alone but guess they want to make sure there are no issues with that contributing to her anemia.

She will be spending another night in the Day Hospital. Thanks again for your prayers and support! I will post another update tomorrow when we know more.

So sorry it has been a rough day! Tell Karen that Hampton had to wear a cervical collar when we had our 20-hour ER visit after his fall last month, so we know that is no fun! I hope she will get it off soon and that the CT won't reveal any big issues. Praying for all of you. We're here if there is ANYTHING we can do!
Love, Lori
