This past two weeks has been long. It was two weeks ago today that Andrew was admitted to Mt. Carmel hospital for a severe ulcerative colitis flare up. He was very dehydrated, his blood count was half of what it should be and his weight was getting pretty low. He spent eight days there. After 3 units of blood, IV fluids, and high doses of steroids with little improvement, surgery began to look like our only option. But there was a lot to consider including if Andrew was strong enough for surgery, if the doctors in Spokane would take him without insurance, etc. Then suddenly everything worked out and he was transferred to Sacred Heart. The surgery was done on Friday. Everything went well. Recovery is a little slow but getting there. Finally it looks like we might get to go home soon. Actually if all goes well they are talking about tomorrow. So we will see...
I am so ready!
