Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Hi all, boy it always seems like I'm asking for a favor. Well, this time it's for my girls. the youngest (21) has been sick since Sat. She got so bad today we rushed her to the dr. (well Rich did) They thought she had meningitis. One dr wanted to do a spinal tap and one said no. They ended up giving her a really strong antibiotic shot and sending her home with one antibiotic pill, one pain pill and one decongestant. They took blood tests and then realized she was allergic to the shot. (Gee it was in her records.) When she got home she had vicodin for the pain pill and she is allergic to that too. So she went to just plain ibuprophen. Her fever was 102. She is to go back tomorrow at 11am. has to go to the dr tomorrow at 3pm to get the results of her MRI of her knee that was done 2 weeks ago. The dr said he would feel better giving her the results face to face, so that scared us a bit. Then at 4pm she goes to her GYn to find out how severe and what they are going to do about the pre cancerous cervical cells that have come back after a year. is going through some problems now too. I'm asking if you would think a few good thoughts for them and maybe say a little prayer. I'm just feeling weepy from the lowering of the pred. These mood swings just have to stop. LOL I'm down to 6mg still and filling in with ibuprophen. So far so good. Thanks again for all you do for me. I love you all dearly. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 , Any time you want extra support, just let us know! Your family is going through so much right now with all of the medical challenges, plus the " hurry up and wait " syndrome is too common! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Let those tears flow, it is probably impacted by the pred., but it's a lot to carry as a mom to watch your children going through so much, as well as your situation of having to wait for your surgery. Take care of yourself, accept as much support as you can right now, and post when you can. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Oh, Sweetie. There seems to be no end of heartaches for you. Believe me, I know how you feel. Been there and done something similar. But, keep the faith. God is not going to let you down. Remember my prayers are with you. AND I love you very, very much.
