Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Hi, All! Sorry that I've been too busy to participate in the list. But Beverly just called me and asked me to post an update on her condition to the list. I hope I got all the facts straight and they make sense to you. Bev went into LI Jewish hospital on March 28, supposedly for 48 hours. Due to complications following her lung biopsy, she is still hospitalized. She had been in ICU, but is in a regular room on the 8th floor now with a great view. (IMHO it's a good sign regarding her emotional state if she can enjoy the view, although she did say she was depressed -- and understandably so.) The biopsy was okay, but she's had alot of complications, possibly due to the fact that they took her off her regular meds and put her on powerful immune suppressors. She said she lost alot of blood, but they don't know where it went. She needed 2 emergency transfusions. She had an echo before the biopsy, but now she has mitral valve cmplications, tachycardia and some congestive heart failure. She has pneumonia in both lungs and is on oxygen. Her liver function is out of wack and she has an absess collection by her liver. She is supposed to be scheduled for a bone marrow aspiration. If anyone wants to ask me any questions, please write to my addy directly, as I am still on nomail, although I do look at the archives whenever I get a chance. Hugs to all.....Marilyn (aka Diz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
