While politicos are determining what the "October Surprise" will be for this Presidential Campaign....the Gosch family knows what our October Surprise is......Pancreantitis.
At 1:30 in the morning we learned that Aubrey has pancreantitis.
Aubrey started vomiting at 6:00 am yesterday and could not hold anything down the entire day. We thought it was just a flu bug but after 12 hours of not keeping any liquids down we brought her to the ER for fear of dehydration. At the ER they ran some blood work as a precaution. It was during these blood tests they found indications of problems with her pancreas and suggested she be admitted to the hospital for more immediate care.
They are still trying to determine how Aubrey got the pancreantitis - but the likely suspect is her anti-seizure medicine Depakote.
We're basically playing a waiting game. Until Aubrey is seen by a G.I. specialist she can not eat or drink anything. Therefore she's stuck on an IV in her hospital crib. We're also waiting for the Neurologist to provide some ideas of what to do for the siezure control if in fact the Depakote is causing Aubrey's health problems.
Ahhh - it never ends!
Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers - we'll keep you posted.

We are definitely praying for her. Give her a hug for us.
Elise,
You definitely know we are here for whatever you need. I remember the long days in the hospital myself, so don't hesitate to let us know.
