He's been sick for about 2 weeks now. At first we thought he had the flu. Everyone else in my family had it, so we thought that's what it was... horrible stomach ache and throwing up here and there. But it just kept on lasting, over 2 weeks, so finally I talked him into going to Urgent Care Saturday night, because the pain was so bad he was almost in tears. He's so stubborn and didn't want to go to the doctors. So we were there Saturday night for about 3 hours.... running blood tests, urine tests, etc... and finally, the LAST test that came back showed that he has pancreatitis. So they started him on antibiotics and pain medication, and told him to come back the next day to see if the enzyme count had gone down. So we went in, and it was the same... hadn't gotten worse, but hadn't gotten better. So the doctors ordered a CT scan. So Monday we did that, and then the next day, the doctors called and said that the results showed that yes, he has pancreatitis, but there was no real cause for it.... he doesn't have pancreatic cancer, or gall stones, etc.... which is a very good thing. But they wanted him to go into his regular doctor as soon as possible to do follow up blood work, and to see what else to do. So this morning, Aaron had his doctors appointment, and they said that he needs to just keep on his antibiotics, and to take it easy. They want him to go back this next Monday, and do blood work again, to see if the levels have dropped. From there, they will let us know what to do next. So hopefully everything will be getting better. I've been so worried about him, and I'm just really hoping that everything works out for the good.
