The drama continues. If you are not up to date here is part 1 & part 2 The good news: Mrs. Dani's foot seems to be healed. The MRI confirmed this was possibly just an infection from the bowl that broke and cut her foot. She is off of crutches. The bad news: We have found out the hard way that she is allergic to sulfa drugs. She had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and developed a nice rash on her thighs and back, have been shaking and had her heart racing quite a bit which was due to an elevated blood pressure of 126/106 which is actually worse than it sounds for her because 80, which is a generally good bottom number for most people is actually high for her under normal circumstances. she was also sporting a really pounding headache due, we believe, to the blood pressure. She was also nauseated beyond belief and searing heartburn and a small fever to boot. Yesterday morning she made it to the living room and laid down on the floor with the kids with her head tilted into a bucket dry heaving she was not able to move for about an hour and a half. Her 8 year old called her parents who raced over to get her to the ER. They gave her a shot of steroids to help speed up the body’s healing against the sulfa antibiotic and shot of something else to help with the nausea. So now she is on two separate drugs to help counteract the one drug which was actually a replacement for another one that was decided was unnecessary plus something else no one seems to know what it was for. But the worse is yet to come. She can have NO caffeinated drinks. NO COFFEE!!! Doctors are sadistic. Apparently the caffeine will aid in her dehydration. Oh, I forgot to mention that. She was also dehydrated. She is in good spirits and seeming to feel better this morn. So that is good news. She hopes to be back posting in a week or so. |
