update on Rick,

[Guest guest]

Hi all,,

Well I spoke with again tonite and Rick is still about the

same, still very confused and actually didnt recognize her and said

he needed to call .. His sodium is still way to low, but was

up to 120. One doc actually scared , one doc who is not part

of his team said something to her about the 'possibility' of lung

cancer or lymphoma... the rest of the medical team said that was

wrong and that this doc who said that was way out of line.. So

tomorrow she is going to try to have a sit down with both docs, the

liver doc and the kidney doc and see if they can give her some idea

of what is going on.. The liver doc says his liver is fine, its doing

just fine so they dont think that this is part of anything to do with

his liver.. Today they did a CT of his head to see if there was

anything in there that might be causeing this and she should hear the

results tomorrow.. I will post whatever I hear when I hear it..

I would ask you all to keep in your thoughts and prayers as

this is becoming MORE than simply stressful. The nurse who is taking

care of Rick told her to take the day off tomorrow and just rest and

take care of herself and of course promised to take care of Rick.

This is day number 8 with no answers yet. Im MORE worried about her

right now because this stress just cannot be good for her. The

medical staff do say that they will get it straightened out.. I hope

they do as this cannot be good for him to continue being under this

kind of stress in his body.

Its been 3 weeks since Rick had his liver transplant, he should be

headed home and not still being in the hospital with an unknown

medical issue...

I HATE THIS VIRUS and what it does to us!!!
