I've been offline due to a medical problem, but I'll try to post more often!

She got very sick Sunday with no warning, and became incoherent in a few hours. Since she crashed so fast, I called for transport to the ER.

Two different doctors told me I waited too long! I told them I didn't wait at all. Sunday was a Bad day!!!!

She had a massive infection and her labs were out of whack across the spectrum! The first attempt at surgical intervention didn't work. She has a blocked kidney that is highly infected, but they couldn't bypass the blockage with a stint.

The second surgery occured, when they accessed the kidney from her side. They began throwing massive antibiotics, at the kidney infection. But the removal of the kidney stones Must happen, after she's more stable!

This was the ICU step up:

It's stunning to realize that This was an improvement....

So they have gone from; ' she won't make it'; to ’she has 'a fighting chance'; to 'she's responding well', in 4 days! This demonstrates the raw power of prayers, and how tough she is!!!!

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting recently, but time is hard to find recently. My days are spent riding doctors and therapists, to make sure they are doing their best for her! They have a few cleat marks on their backs, but she's improving; and I don't care if they avoid me....

Oh my goodness that sounds awful! It's a good thing you know all that you do. The docs might not like it, but her prognosis went from very bad to very good with you involvement. I wonder if any of the medical personel credit you with that change. Seven IV drugs!!! I've never seen anything like that, and I've been through some horrors.

I'm so happy she has rounded that corner.

Well, a few of them have my boot prints on their backs, LOL! One is avoiding me....

But she's improving every day! Now if I can get them to send her home so I can care for her....

I know you are the best person for that job. I hope she comes home soon.

Working on it, they know I'm here! I've officially asked for no step down unit, rather for her to come directly home.

They haven't said no, after we talked a while!

Can they say no? If she wants to go home, and you can care for her and get her the rehab she needs, can they force her to go elsewhere?

They try, big money involved....

But we'll see! They won't give her the herbals the doctor prescribed, so home's best!
