Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi all- Well we are here at club med- day 3 at MGH and the news is mixed. The good news is that has had several doses of meropenem and not had any allergic reactions- yay! We will keep our fingers crossed as he has had anyphalaxsis to everything else besides Tobra. We're getting ready to have the sinus surgery tomorrow afternoon. The bad news is that even though we're in one of the top hospitals in the country we can't get a simple bottle of hypertonic saline solution to come up from the pharmacy- they keep sending normal saline bullets or telling us they have never heard of it! Gee.... I wonder what that was I was squirting up his nose the last million times we were here??? Gotta go with the flow or I " ll lose it! Please keep in your positive thoughts tomorrow as we hope for great surgical results. Thanks! Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it isn't fun, but .know your all in my special thoughts & wishes. I cant believe they are telling you that in the pharmacy. Maybe a call to the administrator wouldn't hurt .EVEN if it was the sect. -She will quietly pass it on & he might just call to them & ask about it, They HAVE to have that in the formulary , I cant imagine them not.
