Please say a prayer for Nella

Howdy everyone, Geof here! Id like to update everyone again about Nellas procedure!! She had her FMT procedure done last Monday, which went pretty well considering how wiggly she can be! The Dr's called the procedure a success and gave us a 2-7 day window to look for changes in her intestinal system without the antibiotic regimen she's been doing! I can safely report that although she and her mom might beg to differ, her sh*t does in fact stink!! That is actually a good sign, which means that she is now full of bacteria instead of being scrubbed clean by the antibiotics! I know, it sounds backwards to me, but that is the way it was described to me, a complete medical flunky!!

However, it seems that it's not all good news, whenever she was taken off the antibiotics before, she would get abdominal pains after about 5 days from the CDiff bacteria growing unabated, and only more antibiotics would keep that at bay!! It has been 9 days and she has been complaining about her tummy hurting!! We are just hoping that it is something else, but today Wendy is on the horn with the Dr's to schedule a checkup, so there is another trip to the U in her immediate future! Hopefully it's nothing, and Wendy thinks it's not CDiff related, but were very gun shy now and are taking every precaution!!

So, there's the latest, and I'll keep you all informed about anything we find!! Thanks again for all your prayers and thoughts, they really help!! Geof
