July 13th, 5:00 PM

Just got done visiting Lindsay. She was very down and out today. She has been getting up to go to the bathroom but other than that she wanted no part of being up and around.

Her stomach was causing her quite a bit of pain and discomfort so they did a CT scan and found a small pocket of fluid above her pancreas tube but below her lung. The nurse thought perhaps they would aspirate it out but they decided against it as it is not very large and probably not what is causing her pain.

Her white count is elevated but not enough that they want to give her antibiotics. Right now they are just going to wait and see what her body can do on it's own. She had a slight fever but I think that broke while I was there as she went from cold to hot again.

Overall, she was just in a really bad mood and very anxious because she didn't sleep last night and she's afraid she may never be able to get comfortable to sleep again. She wanted some more pain meds but they told her they are trying to keep her off of too many of them so I think that is making her even more anxious about sleeping tonight.
