Always gotta be something!!

We got the CT Scan results Saturday afternoon.  It seems that Casey's stomach is in an abnormal position?!  Anyone know what that means?  There is also an "issue" with the left side of his stomach.  We were assured it was not cancer but the coordinator could not properly interpret the results.  We will have to wait until tomorrow when he goes back to the Liver Clinic!  Ugh!  When will he ever feel better?!

Whew!

Casey's appt went very well today!  He is fine liver-wise!!!  THANK GOD!!!  Due to all his meds, he has peptic ulcer disease.  It is very common and he just needs to start taking nexium.  He also had a UTI...which is where the back pains and pain during urinating came from.  The Nexium will take a couple of weeks to kick in.  Please pray for the pain to subside a bit.  It's hard for him to cope with sometimes.  Thank you for your continued prayers!  ♥

Here we go again...

Family and friends, pardon me for not updating sooner.  We have been really busy packing and then moving and then unpacking!  Ugh!

Casey was doing fine for a long while but the beginning of July he started feeling some pain in his lower back.  It would come and go.  Then later came the pain in his stomach after drinking or eating, regardless of how small the portion.  This pain comes and goes as well.  He has some pain during urination and his urine is a dark color. (not a good sign)  He has lost 10 pounds since July since he can't eat very much without it causing pain and discomfort. The last few days he has been feeling drained and extremely tired.  These symptoms are all the same symptoms as before the 2nd liver transplant. I'm trying to remain strong and positive but I'm so scared!!!

He has an appt tomorrow at Baylor Hospital for labs and liver clinic and then a CT Scan.  Please everyone, please keep him in your prayers!  He has been through so much already.  We don't need a reoccurrence!!!
