Lil,
An internist is different from an endocrinologist right? they
have a good endo guy that they like and respect (he will be back tonight)...they
don't have an internist as far as I know. They put her on xanax because
the Ativan made her so goofy...does xanax do the same thing for swelling
that ativan does?
She is still on Potassium Chloride because of the
embalance of the electrolytes. She is not getting any iv "food/nutrition".
She is now eating on her own. I just got off the phone and Michael
said she ate all her breakfast. She sounded much more coherent too.
I am hoping that since they are getting the steroids back in line and the
electrolytes balanced that things are on an upswing and if we can get her
eating regularly and walking that we will have a chance. Results
of the CT scan should be forthcoming. Lil, you are always such an
inspiration to me. I count on you.
love, sylvia-Lizabeth's champion

should be getting a feeding solution through an IV.2.One
is tapered off of steroids; however Lizabeth needs to be on a high dossage
of steriods right now, again through iv.3.Ativan is
given to reduce swelling also; so she needs some of this.4.
I again urge she get a good internist on her team, remember it was the
internist that saved my life. The internist will monitor all drugs;
so that there will not be an inneraction to drugs; which often happens.I
urge you to get these messages accross to the doctors........love you lillian
