This last week has been very trying as we have gone without sleep as so many things have happened.
It got really bad these last 2 days as she has collapsed in pain twice now, and was up for over 24hrs in pain several days a week.
She has only been able to keep down 2 or 3 Ensure and a sandwich or so. Making the grand total of calories a day about 800 to 1000 or less.
Every day she is either in bed or her chair resting, trying to deal with an upset gastro tract and all is so difficult.
We have been keeping track of everything for the past two weeks. From calling the doctor, medicine, pain, fever, bathroom visits, etc.
The doctor in Columbus isn't available to see her as often as needed. They told us to find a new specialist that is closer!
Along with 2 changes in local doctors and this also being the 2nd gastro specialist to begin with, it is becoming a common problem for us.
We are running out of options to find a closer specialist. Because in reality there isn't. The only place closer is another in Columbus, Cincinnati, or Cleveland, along with out of state!
So we are on the search for a new gastro specialist if her appointment this Friday doesn't amount to anything and if the local doctor can't help us either.
Many have told us to try an ER, but they have consistently given us a wrong diagnosis and told us to just do a follow up with the doctor the next day and just gave a shot for the pain.
As of right now our hands are tied as both the local doctor says to call the specialist and the specialist says find a local doctor....
LORD please give us the right sign....which way to go....
