Ullaluv Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Where to start? I just got home from having the leak in the tire fixed, so I can get to OSU safely. And just got off the phone from my most recent call from OSU. Bottom line is: No one has been able to figure out what's going on with Princess. They had a big conference this morning with Surgery, Pathology and Internal Medicine. Her bilirubin has continued to rise (0.2 0n 12/23, 6 on 1/2, 11 on 1/7, over 17 last night.) Her liver enzymes continue to be sky high, and her cholesterol is still falling - all signs of liver failure. But all the biopsies that they did on Monday have only mild, non-specific changes. Liver biopsy does not look like liver failure, and no sign of fatty liver. Her pancreas appeared normal when they did the surgery, and biopsy unremarkable. The duodenal and jejunal biopsies came back with only non-specific inflammatory changes, not lymphoma and not diagnostic for IBD. When they put the esophageal feeding tube in yesterday, they went back and looked at the duodenum again, and the stent in the bile duct is draining. We've ruled out anything infectious that we could think of. Tick titers, fungal titers, etc all negative, and she's been on antibiotics since 12/19, when she first stopped eating. She has not had any vomiting, and her stools have been consistently normal consistency and color. And she doesn't act anywhere near as sick as her labs make her look. As the Internist said earlier today, no one has told this girl she's sick. They've started feeding her, small amounts through her feeding tube and are switching her meds to oral. She's tolerating the feedings much better than they expected, given her extreme wasting. I think they'll start steroids today. If there's no change for the worse between now and tomorrow morning, I'll drive to Columbus and bring her home to continue her feedings and meds, and probably take her back sometime next week. We seem to be all out of ideas about what's causing all of this. Maybe the best I can hope for is that she'll somehow recover without a diagnosis. If she recovers, that's what really counts. Thanks for your continued prayers for my soul mate, my precious Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirocco_Nikki Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hope, I am sorry but I am just now seeing this. My Subaru and I will be extremely happy to drive you to OSU to pick up your baby girl. Don't even think you need to do it alone. You helped me get the little moose to Richmond (btw, she's been off their website for 3 weeks now), this is the least I can do. I don't have anything planned this weekend. SO YOU HAD BETTER CALL ME WHEN IT IS TIME TO PICK HER UP!!!!!
