Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I talked to Joyce this evening and she is going to be in for a few more days. She and Lucian have to learn with out a doubt how to do this medication. She is just a wonder. I am not going to do the pred. until I have given the Z pac a chance to work.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 If they prescribed the Z Pac and the Prednisone at the same time and the Prednisone for a short period you need to be careful waiting to do the Prednisone after the Z Pac. The Z Pac helps to protect against the weakening of the immune system caused by the Prednisone. If you delay the Prednisone the doctor may want to prescribe another antibiotic to go with it. I'm glad she's not being released prematurely. I though about home health care for the medication, but then thought, probably no one with them who knows anything about the medication. Not like most things where the nurse would be experienced. > > > > Hi everyone, WOW what a busy board today. and I just got back > > from Shands.
