I am actually scared to say this (scared Dad), but I need some VN prayers. We are on vacation and my 16 year old daughter started having a GI bleed. She has been in the ICU since Sunday afternoon. She is stable now, but GI bleeds can get bad really fast. She has required a transfusion. So far all tests have been “normal“, that actually scares me more… since she is in the ICU, only one parent can stay with her. My wife is a Pediatrician, so she is staying with my daughter.
Hopefully she can have her colonoscopy done this evening, couldn’t complete it yesterday due to the blood in her colon.
If I could ask for your prayers that my daughter will be okay and that the medical staff can figure out the cause and fix it soon. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much!
Thanks, knew I could count on y’all!Understandable. You're in a tough situation.
Allow us to distract you until you know more.

So, little medical diagnostic trivia for you…
Guy comes into the ER complaining of severe scrotal/testicular pain. Could be testicular torsion or a hydrocoele. (Both incredibly painful, one can destroy the testicle, the other doesn’t) Diagnosis is made by trans illuminating the scrotum. When you tell the guy that you are going to shine a small flashlight through his scrotum, even when they are writhing in pain, the guy will stop and say “You’re gonna do what?” If the light passes through the scrotum, it’s a hydrocoele. They can see an Urologist the next clinic day. No light means calling to prep the OR and the Urologist is coming in right away!

Very true, thank you!VolsDoc81TX, I hope all goes well for your young one, prayers have been sent and may a healing and calmness come to you and yours. When your kids hurt nothing else really matters.
Thankfully, I have never had torsion. On the flip side, it's amazing how much fluid the body can retain , and the places it will retain them. When my cirrhosis was at its worst, I was getting regular paracentesis. Unfortunately, there are certain body parts that will retain fluid that you can't drain.Thanks, knew I could count on y’all!
