A long day in the ER.

She had CDiff following her surgery and was concerned it was coming back. However, her tests for Cdiff were negative! So much to be thankful for in that regard.

She does have the beginnings of a kidney infection. The ER gave her some IV antibiotics and a prescription.

We appreciate your prayers.

Daughter in Waco Scott and white ER. She had cdiff following the surgery. Completed the antibiotic. I brought her home on Saturday and she started having some bloating and nausea.

I went home Wednesday. Got a call from my daughter to let me know she was running a fever. Gave Mrs DocV a hug and headed back to Dallas. The doc sent a Rx that seems to be helping.

My daughter is springing back from the surgery. She has some well-managed pain and seems to be back to her usual activities.

Her kidney doc was quite positive. From daughter's report her condition is on the "gooderer" side of not-so-good. A kidney cyst or two(?) may be at the poing of popping. Evedemtlly popping is not unexpected in PKD patients but hacing a cyst reputer can be quite painful/

The kidney doc is scheduling a MRI to check ChildV's abdomen to identify any pending repture-prone cysts. More concerning, the doc is also doing another MRI to see if and aneurysms are in place. The MRIs will be scheduled in December, pandemic permitting.

So the current report is optimistic overall with, of course, potential fluis in the ointment.

Thanks for the prayers.

I just got her back to her home from surgey. She looks good and is not complaiining about pain - just yet. The docs had to remove the ovary but my daughter is optimistic.

The CT scan verified the PKD diagnosis. I am not up to speed on the variations of this particular disease, but her condition seems to be one of the milder types or stages.

She will have the ovarian cyst removed on Thursday morning at Baylor Scott and White.

Everything seems to be working out as well as can be expected. Thanks for the prayers.

She has a CT scan scheduled for 9:30 AM this morning. We shall know more soon.

Some test results came in. Child V mono test came back negative as did her COVID and COVID antibody tests. Good news there. There are some results that are out of range but all attributable to her current infection. Her cancer tests also came out negative. Her new antiboidic is working. Temp is down to normal. Swelling seems to be on the decrease. Her doc says to expect up and down days for a while. She will have a CT schedulred after her current inferction clears. Kidney doc visit is scheduled two weeks out.

Thanks everyone. Her OBGYN says it would be best to remove her ovarian cyst. She will see a kidney doc in a couple of weeks. She was called in for more blood work today as her BSW specialist says she has mono too. Yikes!

Young Miss V has been feeling ill for well over a week. She lives in Dallas. I spent a few days with her last week when she visited an unrgent care and was diagnosed with a bad UTI. After I returned home she started feeling worse and scheduled a visit at BSW. Her tests indicate cysts on her kidneys. She is currently having more tests to see if she might have a Single cyst, or poly-cystic kidney disease (PCKD), and for any other internal abnormalities. I appreciate prayers for her health and that the tests rule out PCKD.

Edit: She just had another test that showed another cyst is on her ovary.
