Tonya Better, But Not On The Way Home Yet

I'm working tonight so I thought I would update everyone while I have a free minute.

The doc came in today and basically didn't say anything new. He did say that due to the bacteria that the urine culture grew out that it takes 10 days to obtain a sensitivity to see which antibiotic will work. So far, without the senstivity report, the I.V. Cipro seems to be doing the trick. I asked Tonya if the doc said she would have to stay for 10 days to see what the sensitivity was and she said he told her we will see what tomorrow brings.

I still think it's too early for her to come home yet. I think she needs to stay until at least Tuesday to get enough meds in her to stay well for a while. The doctor said he would like to repeat the cortisol test in 6 months to see if there have been any changes. I don't know how that is going to happen since she doesn't have any veins to get blood from. Tonya asked him if he could treat the symptoms since she appears to have them even though the tests were negative. That's when he said we will repeat the test in 6 months.

That's about it for now. I'll let you know if she gets to come home tomorrow. If anyone would like to call her, and please someone call her, she is so lonely there due to my working and Katie's condition she needs some calls or visits. The room number is 256-235-8337. Her cell is 256-613-3486. Well, I have a call to answer so pray for me. Brian
