There's still a low undercurrent of abdominal pain, and they're not sure what's causing that. The pain medication is managing the pain for now. She'll remain in the ICU at least overnight. Hopefully we get some answers with the additional testing.

Intestinal blockage

Reading up on it, that sounds like what she described, perhaps more than appendicitis.

Our niece had a twisted intestine that they had to fix. It happened on

Sounds weird but could be kidney stones.

45 minutes is all? Probably needs to take a big crap.

Turns out her blood sugar was high. 385, and delivering insulin wouldn't drop it.

Hoping the best for her, and you.

Shoot. Was she going into DKA? Hopefully they can get it corrected and get her feelin better

Virginia Ute

Don't know if she was there. I'm not sure how long her blood sugar was spiked.

jdub

1/31/19 8:30am

Yep, DKA.

jdub

Let us know. I hope she’s ok.

How old is she? When my girl had this a couple years ago at 16 yrs--appendicitis

Goliath

Oh, I missed the vomiting part. I change my vote. Probably not appendicitis

Goliath

1/31/19 8:10am

I vomited all day when I had appendicits

Colorado

1/31/19 8:12am

I don't think I did. I know I wanted to die, though. My daughter didn't vomit

She's 19. In for a CT scan right now. Still in a lot of pain.

Pancreatitis?

Prayers for a good outcome. Wishing you the best!

So sorry to hear. You're due for some good news after your last few weeks

Yeah, I was hoping this year would go a little better. We've had some good things, but a lot of bummer stuff too.

She looks better, they have her blood sugar back in the range, still is a bit acidic (DKA)
