HELP PLEASE! MY GREAT GRANDMA NEEDS IT!

[SweetSarah]

My great grandma is 93 and she has been suffering from a excrutiating pain near or around her gall bladder and has a bloode infection, liquid in her lungs and an enlarged heart and we were wondering (my mom and i) if this could have anything to do with her gall bladder, if not, do you have any idea of what it may have to do with? PLease, she's very important to me, and the docters have had her for a week and still have no clue.
Help,
Sarah (14)

We appreciate your help and information regardless of your medical training status.  Everyone on this board should remember that none of these answers is supposed to substitute medical care-- the answers should more or less help patients formulate questions to ask their doctors at subsequent visits.

Hi Dr. Erik,
You seem so knowledgeable I was wondering if you are really a Dr.  This sight is not answered by Dr.'s and if you are I find it very interesting and helpful that you are willing to help others.

To MLS:

I am not a Doctor. I was a pre-medical student and have worked in health care settings. I have gained some valuable knowlegde throughout the years and enjoy helping others.

Only your grandmother's doctors can distinguish what is going on with her. Be patient until they find a diagnosis. The best thing you can do is be there for your Grandma and let her know you care. I hope she is ok.
