We are back at St. Jude tonight. Since Thursday Lucy has been complaining of a bad headache, been lethargic and started vomiting. Thankfully we can say we know there is no worry about tumors. However, with her shunt you never know. We knew that our lives would forever be different once Lucy got the shunt. A shunt issue can mimic many other illnesses (and vice versa) and you can never take chances.
So we are here. She's had X-rays and a CT scan. She's gotten a bolis of fluid and we are awaiting results. We are very anxious about a possible shunt malfunction. I feel sick to my stomach. I know they are very common, but they are not common for us! And the worst part is that sweet Lucy is one sick little
girl tonight.
Praying and praying for you Lucy. The Lord is holding you in His hands.
ReplyDeleteOh Kate....you could have stayed on the crest of the wave for a little longer....thinking of you and hoping for good news soon.

ReplyDeletePraying for sweet Lucy. Hopeful that she will soon be feeling better than she does at this moment. Praying......
ReplyDeletei had my first shunt placed in december 2008 at age 22, and in 24 months had 3 shunt surgeries/revisions, plus an extra stay in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit. i'm actually on watch RIGHT NOW for potential shunt issues, having those symptoms again, so will probably end up in the hospital soon too.

ReplyDeleteOh Kate I am so very sorry. This picture of Lucy is breathtaking for so many reasons. Because she is so beautiful. Because she is so fragile.
