Default OT: I'm worried

My older daughter has not felt well for the past month: fatigue, nausea, weakness, headache, fever for 2-3 days then none for a day then resumed temp. Finally went to her PCP two days ago and had a battery of labs drawn. PCP suspected LYME disease or something similar.

This morning at 8, the doc called her to say liver enzymes were off the chart and she had to get to the hospital for an ultrasound of the liver so I have had my 3 year old grandson since 9. Heather came back here at 11 to say the US had showed blood clots thoughout the liver and they were admitting her to the hospital for 2-4 days for tests.

Right now she's having an MRI of the liver. Her husband got off work early and just picked up their son and headed to the hospital. Apparently they have ruled out gall bladder and hepatitis but have no next line of diagnosis that sounds benign. Husband is really worried. This is the first time in their 5 years of marriage that they will have spent the night apart.

This girl has never taken a drink, never done drugs, won't even take tylenol for a headache and is a strict vegetarian. I cannot imagine what this is but I know my child is not well.
