ER-veins in her feet??

Sierra woke me up at 3:00 with pain in her right side/hip:back.  Not new pain-
Same thing she has been dealing with for a few days.  She had thrown up 6 times between 11 and 3.  Brought her to the ER just before 4am.  Same doc as the other day.  He did better today. It was awkward to address that in person.  Anyway, dilauded and phenergan for the pain. They had to draw blood and the poor phlebotomist had the hardest time.  Sierra is really hard to stick but tonight was extra hard.  He looked for veins In her foot!  
No luck there either, two more sticks in the arms (four total) and he got the blood he needed. She feels so much better.  The ER is not the answer but it is our only option while we get this worked out.  Praying that Doctor Lattif gives her some good relief on Thursday.  Also the ER doc suggested we see a GI doc. I had been thinking about that for awhile.  One of her blood tests came back weird.  She has pancreatitis. Inflammation of the pancreas.  It can be caused by all different issuers mostly you would see it in someone with a drinking problem.  Gall stones can cause it too.  GI doc here we come. We will add that to our list of people to see. :)
