Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Eilish's dr. rang me this morning and told me she has culture non-mucoid, sensitive strain of PA. I was a bit taken back as she hasn't cultured it since May 2000. That's why her cough wont go. So he wants her in for another aggressive round of IV's then 3 months cipro & Coli. I said not till next week as she's only started school today after 8 weeks holidays. Both of them were up early and excited about going back.. Eilish is happy that as well as reading a book each night she has to do spelling words and a project (this takes a week for each project). Lets see how long all this 'happy homework' mood lasts. Liam didn't seem to happy with 3 pages of homework per night plus 20 minutes of reading. He's a brilliant reader so that bits fine. I on the other hand have got caught up on housework, washing and have even cooked dinner and it's only 1.30pm. I am still deciding if we will do home IV's or not this time. There is a dilemma with it. Firstly we live out of the 30km cut of point so 2x daily we drive to my mums to meet the physio there, which means Eilish can't go to school. If she stays in the hsp. she can. Then if I am not here to supervise Liam's homework will he fall behind? So I'll toss this around for the next week.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 , I am sorry to hear that Eilish needs more IV meds. I am sure that this is harder on you, than it is on her. I don't know how you manage so well. Please keep us posted. I would like to send Eilish a package. Could I send it to your home? If so, please send me your address.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Re: Back into hsp. Gosh , I am really sorry to hear Eilish needs IV's AGAIN! What were they giving her before, was it the wrong meds? It is a shame she has to miss school, but I guess if it were me I'd rather have her in the hospital since you have to drive to your mum's and she has to miss school anyway. Eilish likes the hospital doesn't she? has always pretty much liked it there too. good luck! love, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Sorry to read this news. Hopefully now they've identified the cause the treatment will work quickly!! Have you decided yet on Hospital or Home IV's? Kristy and I were at clinic on Monday it seemed very chaotic as opposed to previous visits. Nicky has started in Year 11 and so far has had very little homework as she's been finishing it in free study periods..don't think that will last long once they fully get into study. Kristy on the other hand has had plenty of homework so far much to her disgust, her whole attitude at the moment is challenging.
