Pre-surgery (as in 5 minutes before) we were notified that GM’s blood tests were wonky. Nothing that would delay the surgery, but serious enough that she has been admitted. I am so out of it that I can’t remember all of the problems or numbers, but I know that they said extremely low platelet count, very high bilirubin, and decreased white cells. She will be meeting with an hematology oncologist this afternoon and a liver specialist (Dr. Liver- who I LOVE) tomorrow. Mother and I feel a bit blindsided and confused and hate that GM had to be admitted but felt that this was serious enough to just do what the doctor said. Mother is with GM now and I am home to take a nap and gather a few things. I will stay the night with GM and Mother will come back early in the morning.
sigh. So much for routine…

Sending a Refuah Shlemah (healing prayer) and LOTS of white light your way. And lots of love, too.
Lots of good thoughts of healing, peace, and love coming to you from over here. [[Hugs]]
It is good that they caught it! I’ll be thinking healing thoughts and sending them your way.
Oh no! I hope it’s just a wonky test and she is a-ok. I am sending internet kisses to GM. (kisssss kisssss)
Sending all kinds of good thoughts GM’s way. I hope her stay is short and she’s home in her happy feet socks by tomorrow.
Sending you lots and lots of love. Hope things work out for tomorrow. Take a movie, or something that might keep her occupied for the evening if you can.
ohhh bless her heart
sending postive thoughts your way that all will turn out better soon..
hugs to you all
Yep, those labs definitely sound like they need more investigation. Low platelets even with a minor surgery needs more post-op supervision than can be provided at home. It sounds like they are looking out for her and hopefully the consulting docs can give you some answers.
Sending good thoughts your way!
Oh no! I know what it’s like to have something shocking like this pop up. ugh. You will be in my thoughts.
Sorry sweetie. Your life is never boring. Will keep your fam in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, that sucks! Can they get you an extra bed or at least a recliner? Stick out your belly and rub it when you ask.
Hang in there!
I will keep you all in my thoughts, and am hoping for the best.
sending you all so much love…

I am sending lots of prayers your way.
Sending out love and healing to your GM.
ay it’s always something. please take good care of yourself, drink lots of fluids. GM is in good hands – i’m thinking of you all!
Oh Cali,
I am sorry.
Big hugs,
J
i am hoping for all the best for you all.
I’m sorry for the addition of even more issues. I hope they’re able to figure out what is going on and get GM home quickly!
Unfortunately, at this age, it seems to always be something.
I’m sorry that you were blindsided with this news, I hope the Dr.’s are able to sort things out so that GM can have her surgery and go home to heal. I can only imagine based on your past posts that this is disruptive for GM. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh no, that wasn’t meant to happen, right? Thinking of you all with lots of love from us xxxx
My thoughts, love and prayers are with you, Mom and GM.
((Hugs from across the ocean))
Oh no, I’m so sorry. I pray that they’ll find a reason behind the wonky results and get it fixed fast so you all can be on your way home. Keep us posted!!!
ugh. sorry that this is complicated!
Oh Cali, I’m sorry that you were faced with yet another complication. I hope the procedure went well, and that whatever is causing your GM’s labwork to be off is something easily remedied. Sending lots of positive and healing thoughts your way.
We’re all thinking of you and wonderful GM over here at Casa Att.
Much warmth and love!!
Hang in there!
Sounds like they’re being uber-cautious, which is good. Upsetting and disruptive, but good. Sending all the white light and hugs possible.
Sorry that you have had this setback – temporary i hope.
praying for you and your family, and that GM will be back home with you soon. xoxo
