Benjamin Update

Today's update is pretty much no update.  His pancreatic numbers are normal, his liver numbers are normal, his white cell count is normal, his electolytes are normal, his calcium level is normal, his blood cultures all come back negative for any infection.  That being said, he is still running a slight fever and he continues to be in pain for no apparent reason.  The doctors don't seem to have any good ideas right now beyond "watch and wait".

Blood in the Stool

Today's exciting new symptom:  blood in the stool.  Sara thought there was blood in a stool yesterday, but the nurses didn't think it was blood.  Today they agree it definitely is.  The doctor is on the way to take a look and weigh in.

This makes me very nervous.

Ok, No Blood After All

A test of a follow-up stool sample shows no blood in the stool at all.  Nada.  The mystery continues.
