Re: Sitting in the hospital next to my wife...
Wife at home right now... but needs to be tended to.
EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy) was unremarkable barring a bit a erosion from taking Ibuprofen (Advil) and Naproxen (Aleve), she seems to be susceptible to erosion from NSAIDs
Advised her to take only Acetaminophen, also prescribed to take OTC Prilosec (or similar competitive products).
If symptoms do not resolve in 24-48 hours, emergency room is the best bet as its her Gall Bladder or Pancreas. She seems to have an over all infection right now with a slightly elevated temperature, but could be from the symptoms kicking the body into action.
Dr saw no other indicators the Upper GI was in distress. He is pretty sure the Upper GI was/is not the cause of the problems, but the minor erosion and inflammation could conceivably cause the symptoms.
I guess we wait.
Follow up with the Primary Car Provider Physician.

Nope...
Its Gall Bladder or Pancreas.
She is writhing in pain now. And not doing well at all.
PCP is admitting her to the hospital right now.
$2000 cheaper than going to the ER first then admitting.

Re: praying for gallbladder, bad news if the other
prayers from this end too
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
-- E.L. Doctorow

I hope it's something easily treatable.
Gall bladder would be the best of the two.
Good luck, best wishes, crossed digits, etc...

Good vibes sent from here
I've been through that myself... never did find anything, and it was probably transient gallbladder issues. It's no fun, that's for sure.
Looking forward to hearing the good news after it's all settled.

Well ultrasound showed...
Seriously inflamed Gall Bladder and multiple small stones and a couple of larger stones.
Doctors and surgeons are discussing options and if it is to be excised/removed or something like lithotripsy... and lotsa meds for infection.
