My Baby Is In The Hospital

Even though she is 27 years old, Sarah will always be my baby.

My daughter was due to attend her graduation tonight from Medical Assistant School. Instead she was admitted to the hospital after spending almost 6 hours in the ER.

She awakened me around 4 this morning with agonizing abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with multiple gall stones, sludge and an elevated white blood cell count. The doc in the ER felt that the high white count was due to an infected gallbladder. The only answer being a Cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) and antibiotics. Unfortunately, Monday is a heavy schedule day for surgeries and they can't do the Choly until the morning. They say they may take her as early as 5:30 am.

So, I am heading off to bed...got to get up early.

Please keep her in your thoughts tomorrow. Thanks...I love you all!

Wow, Nancy. How terrible. I will keep her in my prayers that she is feeling better very soon.
Sarah G. Nov 10, 2008, 10:29pm UTC
I hope she is ok!

How awful. I hope her a successful surgery & fast recovery.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your baby is well soon. My 16 year old daughter had one of her ovaries removed this year. Everything turned out well.
Connie C. Nov 10, 2008, 10:32pm UTC
Nancy, I am so sorry. I will be thinking of you and her. Get some rest.
Bob B. Nov 10, 2008, 10:35pm UTC
She is definitely in my thoughts Nancy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both tonight and tomorrow. I hope everything goes smoothly for her and they get her taken care of as quickly as possible and her recovery is quick and painless.

My babies are 28, 29 and 31...and they too will always be my babies. :)

I am so sorry to hear this Nancy. I know the pain of gallbladder stones. Its worst than labor! Even though in most cases they only remove the stones with laser, now I believe, (mine was done the old fashion way years ago,through surgical removal of stones and bladder) in the end she will be better off without the gallbladder itself, as that will prevent reacurance of stones.
Its a shame that this not only had to happen but to have it happen when it did. I'm sorry she will miss her graduation. I know us mothers worry (its our job anyway lol) but I am sure she will be fine. My babygirl is twenty five, and will always be my baby girl. My oldest (son)Is always referred to as buddy. So I know where your coming from. Let us know how things go when you can ok? Hope you get a good nights sleep.

I am sorry to hear that she needs surgery and also that she missed her graduation.
Kimberly Ripley Nov 22, 2008, 8:44pm UTC
They're still our babies no matter what age!

Paying it forward!
Elizabeth S. Nov 23, 2008, 1:20pm UTC
I don't think you know how it feels until your baby in at least 25. Mine just turned 32 and probably can't imagine why I think of him as my baby.

What a terrible ordeal for the both of you.
