Medical Update

I'll update this as appropriate and possible.

3/28/07 -- 0600 Central Time: My darling wife is still hospitalized for tests as they attempt to see what is causing the symptoms for which she was admitted. Depending upon the results of tests, she could be home today or could need surgery -- or anything in between.

3/29/07 -- 0600 Central Time: Brought her home last night, after getting the doctor to concede that one more night at the hospital waiting for one last blood test really wasn't necessary -- treatment would still be antibiotics at home after discharge, which would simply be delayed by 14 hours until he came in to check the results. So I got her home in time for American Idol, and she has been resting comfortably. The long and the short of it is that she had a virus that caused the vomiting, and it continued after she developed a low-grade allergic reaction to the first antibiotic they gave her, adding yet another to the list of antibiotics she can't take. All other test results fairly normal except one, and that has to be followed up with the GP because it will likely cause a medication change for her.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and kindness.

1 Good to see that she has a good advocate, too.  Too often, the little decisions, like whether she should spend the night, go unquestioned.

2 I am glad that it doesn't seem to be anything serious... best wishes to her.
