This morning Angela was feeling fine. She got a real shower, her first in ages. I took her outside in a wheelchair, and we walked around the rehab hospital. She really enjoyed it. After lunch, she got tired, so she went back to bed and rested.
But her liver enzymes have been consistently climbing since before she left Mercy, and this morning her eyes looked a bit yellow. So the doctor sent her back to Mercy to have an ultrasound of her gallbladder. They ended up readmitting her. Her new medical doctor said she has cholecystitis and needs to have a cholecystectomy - the sooner the better. But the surgeon said he wasn't sure if the gallbladder was the source of her troubles and has ordered a HIDA scan - a nuclear medicine study of the gallbladder. He says that should show if it is the gallbladder that is the source of the trouble. That should happen tomorrow morning.
God has taken such marvelous care of her so far, and I know He is still watching over her. That thought inspires me.
