The Verdict...I think?

So this week we have seen both our pediatrician and Dr. Karnam (the GI doctor). The consensus of the two is that we should see a surgeon about getting her gall bladder out. They both said it's "conceivable", even with no definitive test results to say that the gall bladder is definitely the cause of her problems. Jayden's HIDA scan results were at 63% which is in the realm of normal for an adult but were low for an adolescent. We switched a few of her meds around, but still no changes in her pain levels. The problem with surgery is obviously her blood thinners so we are still waiting to hear if Dr. Sorensen is willing to allow her to use an injectable blood thinner that is used before surgery. We meet with a surgeon on Monday to talk a bit more about that option. We are a bit leary about if it will work but we are willing to try anything at this point!
