Told Carrie Id post an update.

She almost made me cry. She is very excited... She said.. and I quote.. "Farries is AWESOME!!!". He cant believe she has gone this long without treatment. He is ordering the HIPA thing asap.. (probably TOMORROW!). She will see him the same day she has the scan. He thinks it is a herniated bowel. AND gall bladder. He talked her into pain pills. Tramacet. She hates pain pills... so Im not sure how long she will take them. She is in a 12 out of 10 pain. and LAUGHING she is so relieved that someone is going to do something.

Dr. Farries said that if it is bowel it is a very major surgery. More major than GBS. She is leaning toward letting Farries do it if it is gall bladder, and having Nohr do it if it is bowel. Farries is going to be in direct contact with Nohr.

So.. FINALLY!! We get good news on my carrie!
