Robin's mother had pancreatitis when she was admitted into the hospital two years ago which led her to coming here. Hers was caused by her bleeding ulcer and that was caused by her vodka drinking. She also had the raised white cell count, etc. It took time, but the ulcer finally healed up a bit and the pancreatitis went away. Normally they would have done surgery on the ulcer but it was right up against the pancreas and if it burst, it would kill her or if the acid eroded too much on her pancreas, she'd be dead but they were able to heal both with meds. I'll keep him in my prayers for a speedy recovery and ask God to take some of his pain away so he can concentrate on healing instead of the pain.
