Doctors, doctors, doctors

How many doctors in one week is enough?

On Tuesday, I had to go see Dr. Jack to talk to him about my blood test results I had done a couple of weeks ago. Everything was ok except for my cholesterol : (  It was higher than he thought it should be, so he wants me to try some meds for a month to see what happens.

Then, around 9:30, Tuesday night, Rickey and I decided  to take Kellye Beth to the 'ER' at Crestwood to see what's going on with her stomach. She had stomach cramps in different spots since Sunday evening. It started up high around her gall bladder and moved till it settled in the lower abdomen. We couldn't figure it out. She didn't have a fever, but started to throwing up on Tuesday. All day. When we got to the ER, they took blood and found out because of her white blood cell count that she had an infection somewhere. 

Dr. Poole ordered a CT scan of her abdomen and discovered that her appendix was enlarged and swollen.

Dr. Todd Foreman was called in the next morning to remove it. She's slowly getting better, but we want her to take it easy.

Then, on Wednesday, Rickey had to go see a new doctor concerning his liver and disgestive system.

He's ok, but has to have test later this month.

Finally, on Friday, I took LilyAnn to see Dr. Horton. She had been sickly since Saturday and was coughing a lot at night waking her up. The doc said she was getting over a cold and that her cough would be the last thing to go away. He pretended he was looking for "Elmo" and "Barney" in her ears to check for any infections and they were clear. Lily still has not got over the idea that Elmo and Barney might be in her ears.

I know there's a lot of sick people out there besides my family.

I hope you all get well soon!
