UPDATE.....URGENT...NEED INFO ON 6YR OLD WITH PANCREAS PROBLEM

1 Recommendation

Today I had to take my 6 yr old grandson to the emergency dept. He has been sick for 2 days. In my earlier post I explained that he has a pancreas problem and is taking enzymes. About 5 weeks ago the doctor increased his enzymes. Yesterday he was sick and had excessive mucous leakage from his rectum. Today he was worse. The doctor told me that because of the excessive mucous that his enzymes are low. Everytime he has bloodwork done the white count is always elavated. Today they said that he had a chronic disease but they don't know what. He has been tested for CF,LUPUS, RARTHRITIS,CELIAC DISEASE,CHRON'S DISEASE and DIABETES. All of his test have comeback negative. His sweat test for CF was negative but doctor's said that he has symptons of CF. They are giving him the enzymes that they would give to treat a CF patient. DOES ANYONE KNOW why he suddenly after the enzyme increase is not getting enough enzymes???? I am worn out but I have faith in the good Lord above that someone will see this post and have some answers for me. I need to know what my next step should be for his medical and questions for the doctor's. I'm running out of questions. He is at a good children's hospital and doctors have done alot but now something really big is going on in his little body and we just have no clue. I need info ASAP. Thank You and God Bless You....KathyG
