you gotta love big cities.
lacee and i are sitting in the van, on the side of the road, in the rain.
i am 2 blocks away from vanderbilt childrens hospital.
i am surrounded by bookstores and coffee shops, so surely i am hooked up to one of their wireless internet systems.
cool, huh?
anyways, we are in nashville, because after 3 1/2 weeks of pain and investigation that produces no results, this momma has had ENOUGH! so i loaded up all 3 of my kids last night at 10pm.
i took the boys to george ann's for the night, and lacee and i headed out.
mark is working night shift this week.
after posting about her pain earlier, then holding lacee as she cries about the pain, i called her pediatrician, who is out of town, in florida for 2 weeks on a med conference. thank goodness for cell phones. she is concerned about lacee as well, and is like me, yes the constipation is an issue that needs resolved, but that is not the main issue. just the newest and easiest to diagnose. this child has been in pain and nothing we have tried works for her.
we arrive at the ER at vandy kids at 1:30am.
we are discharged at 7:04am.
we know no more than we did when we got there. except that her UTI is almost gone.
they did call and talk to the ped gastro on call, who wants to schedule an upper GI and endoscope.
so we left the hospital, had a lovely bfast at the pancake pantry (a long time fave of lacee's) and we are now sitting on the side of the road in the van.
why?
because i called the ped gastro after bfast and am now waiting on a call from them to get her in TODAY for this procedure. this has gone on long enough and we have no answers.
she has, btw, had 2 really good "movements" this morning, and still says she feels no better at all than she did before.
THREE AND A HALF WEEKS!
this momma has had enough.
when your child looks at you and says, "mom, i dont wanna leave the hospital, i am still hurting and we dont know why".... that is a clue that something needs to be done.
a prayer for my beautiful child would be most greatly appreciated.

i found your blog via myspace. we started a blog when daniel was born and i am addicted.
i read about lacee and will be praying for her. i wanted to let you know that daniel sees dr.arthur
(pediatric GI) at vch. we hate her and love her. she is very persistant at finding any cause for any problem and won't stop until she has found a cause even if it is minor. (that is why we love her) she is brutally honest. (that is why we hate her) good luck! if you need anything let is know we are abotu 30 minutes from vch.

I'm glad you guys are up here! Call us if you need anything. The house is a mess, but you guys are always welcome if you need to come and stay we have plenty of room. There's never a reason to have to drive back and forth, or spend money on a hotel unless you just want to. Just let us know if you need ANYTHING sis! Prayin' for you baby girl!
My prayers are with you and Lacee. I know how hard it is to see your baby hurting and not be able to help. Katy's situation was a little different....but it hurt us all so much. I will keep you and the medical staff in my prayers. I pray for healing and strength for you all.
God Bless,
Karen (Karen's Angels from CF)
