Jess is sick

Jess has had abdominal pain for about 7 days now. She finally went to the doctor yesterday and he ordered blood work, urine testing, and an abdominal/pelvic ultrasound. Blood work came back great. Urine too. Then the ultrasound came back inconclusive. So he ordered a CT scan for this morning. We went in for that and I guess Jess is allergic to the contrast material. She was in the CT and her throat closed up, started throwing up, her BP was sky high, and her pulse ox was way low. They brought in the crash cart but luckily did not have to use it. They gave her IV Benadryl and IV fluids. They got her stable and then finished the scan. AFTER all of that and a little more monitoring they finally came into the waiting room to ask me to come back to see her. The entire time all of this drama was going on I had NO IDEA. No one let me know anything. I was extremely frustrated by that. The only bonus was that the radiologist immediately read her scan and called the doctor instead of us having wait until tomorrow for the results. Her appendix, gall bladder, and ovaries looked good. He did see something in her small bowel and asked if she had Crohn's Disease. She said no. He also suggested it might be an infection of some sort. She has to go back for an upper and lower GI either tomorrow or Thursday. Let's hope she feels better soon!
