Looking For Answers

Carly's pain returned again today. It started with a little whimpering early in the day and got pretty intense over the last few hours, finally ending when she got two doses of a very strong narcotic. It isn't easy seeing her go through such an ordeal and it is a relief to see her rocking gently in Christa's arms now. After ruling out so many possibilities over the last week it seems that the cause is gastro-intestinal related because the pain issues didn't start up again until she started eating. It is still puzzling though, because her abdomen exam didn't uncover anything and the pain is too intense to simply be gas related. We're directing all of our energy toward helping Carly have a restful night and a pain free Friday.

Love, Brad

Oh no - we were so hoping Carly would be pain-free and heading home. It's so frustrating to not know the cause - let's hope the docs can figure out the mystery soon. You guys are taking such good care of her - and thanks so much for keeping us all posted in the midst of it all.

Love, Savannah
