As we knew would occur at some point, Phoenix's health recently took a turn from it's stable and healthy level. Doctors had warned us as I posted before, that her medical condition would at some point worsen...it was a matter of when not if. That time has occurred. A few weeks ago Phoenix's liver levels returned concerning. Upon more tests and seeing the doctors in calgary... we were told that the sludge in her bile ducts have returned. They've put her back on bile production medication, as we did last time without success, in the hopes maybe this time it will work. Just got the call tonight on a sunday that this friday they have her booked in for an ultrasound. On thursday she will be turning 13.... she's not impressed with starting her teen years with medical stuff. So...we may be facing as we did a couple years ago and be doing many many many trips to calgary and edmonton for surgeries and hospitalizations.. and once again the scary life threatening sepsis risks. Phoenix started hyperventilating when the doctor was telling us what we were looking at again... she remembers the nightmare that had all been. Took a bit to calm her down...but she's back to thinking positive through it all.. wish I was as capable of doing so. It terrifies me to go through it again....to come so close to loosing her again that only miracles pulled her through them at the time. I'm not sure there's a max on miracles... but we've used more then I can count at this point in her life!
So...I suppose we prepare ourselves mentally for the worst..and hope for the best. We've pulled through everything life has thrown at us so far....and we'll continue to do so :)
