We have part of our answer...

After speaking with both Dr. Muenzer and Dr. Muge at length today, we have a part of the picture...Lauren does have pancreatitis and the treatment for that is having nothing to eat or drink until the pancreas can heal. Her pancreatic enzymes are already down today though and they were happy about that. The doctors still feel that there is more going on with Lauren (as they like to say...the problem is always multilayered) and will be doing more tests in the coming days. They aren't sure what caused the pancreatitis or if they will figure that out but they are still planning on doing an endoscopy on Lauren probably on Tuesday (they will have to wait to do it until her pancreatic enzymes return to normal) so that is the day they are shooting for. Lauren had an abdominable ultrasound done today and we will know more about that tomorrow so as Jeff says...our answers are never that easy but at least we have a starting place and we can go from there. Lauren is being very stoic!
