Hello all,
Another big gap in the updates (I'm rubbish at this!).
Anyway, Etta got discharged last Weds (5th). A bit earlier than I anticipated but they were happy enough with her levels and the D&V had calmed down considerably.
She had been on anti-biotics for a high temp but then they found out it was an infection in her Hickman line which was causing problems so they removed that on the Tuesday. Tests on Weds AM proved all clear so it was homeward bound!
We went back on Friday AM for blood tests and everything came back positive so thats a good sign, back this Friday for another checkup.
She is managing to keep down small amounts of food and is sleeping a lot, but I keep trying to get her moving around at least once a day to keep her strength up.
The only down side at the moment seems to be a bout of throwing up. It's weird though as it seems to be mostly wind then the bile starts. I have started her back on the Metaclopramide (the anti-sickness ones). They gave her an anti-viral (Aciclovir) which she hates the tastes of as it dissolves as soon as you take it and some Co-Trimoxazole (no idea what they do!).
Does anyone know if this windy/bile sickness is normal or should I be ringing up and asking about it?
Ali: Yes, your notes on your mum were a great help thanks, good to know she is doing well and I will know what to expect 🙂
Vicki: I know exactly what you mean, we all seem to be good at preaching to others but never take the same advice!
Best wishes to all.
Craig
