Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Today they have decided that they are almost 100% sure that Madison's bleed came from sever reflux causing the esophagus and lower airway to bleed. Since the reflux won't be corrected until she has surgery this has a very good shot at happening again. So I will be taking Kim's advise and speaking to the doctor's about direct donation. Her blood count came up great since the transfusion she went from 8.8 to 11!!! So we can go home tomorrow. Monday morning Dr. Chen is going to call the surgeon and see what the hold up is. But on an even better note since they started her on reglin and prevacid by iV instead of PO her cough is gone and so is her fever. Then we had a monumental day in Madison history, She ate lunch and dinner. And check this out........ She ate because she wanted to not because they made her. She even ate ice cream later. So the docs have decided to send her home with these meds by IV since it works so well. I will be sure to update tomorrow once we are home Chrissy Re: CHAT - name our moms group - you are so awesome!

I'll have to think about this one for awhile (being a perfectionist and all <grin>). - H > > Okay, I see some of us are having those days when you feel excluded by > the rest of the " normal " people.. > > who can get the best group name going... > > NNALI - not normal and loving it > POSSY- Parents OF Super Special Youngsters > > HOlland's Best (reference to the poem) > > SCRAM - Stir CRAzy - REally - And Mellow > > I'm sure so many of you can top me in a heartbeat, make us laugh! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
