Last night we had a hospice consult. Mom was not doing well. Today I had a Rheumy appointment on the ride home I was told she is waiting on me to sign dnr. It wasn't a dnr... Mom is now in...
So my head is in a whirlwind right now. Just throwing out what I know. This may or may not be hard to follow. She may be moving today if not tomorrow after dialysis to a extended care facility. ...
Just a update. She is still alive and kicking but still in the hospital. The insurance company wont pay for a move out. The reasoning is she has certain needs that her coverage will only pay for...
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I have been very busy and worn out as you may have guessed. She is still choosing to fight which means she is still in the hospital right now. She dose have...

Thank you all. Mom got the chest tube out today. She hasn't had any drainage in 3 or 4 days. That is good from the comfort level for her. She is still in the hospital and still has the tubes in...
Well another bit of good news. The local pulmonologist that I see said today. You have had no other issues since the initial flare and have got a lot of doctors looking after you. You shouldn't...
I too had been considering that Alysia. I will mention it when I see my Rheumy. That is a little over a month away unless I have a flare between then and now though.
Well the oncologist confirmed finally it is cancer. But he contacted the U of M <same place I go for treatment> They said treatment is possible without kidneys explained the process. We first...

Only similar to she has now. We will not make her a category 3 unless she wants it. She has made that clear thru her life to me. But as far as recessitation her answer has always kind of been the...
Update. She is more lucid so the may be able to participate herself in our decisions. That gives me some peace. Yesterday she actually started producing urine. unfortunately this was just false...
She is 64 Debra. Unfortunately my hope ended today. Tomorrow my sister and I have to decide if we stop dialysis and make her comfortable with hospice care. Or if we keep her alive in a hospital...
It is not looking very promising right now but there are glimmers of hope here and there. I try to focus on those glimmers but the very real possibility is she may not come home. I appreciate every...
My mother went into the hospital last night and it doesn't look good. They have a plan and are doing everything they can for her. But I was already given the you better contact anyone speech. ...

My belief is most of the water as you say is "probably safe". But odds are also that you are not likely to get WG. So I just wont take the risk a bottle of distilled water is a $1 a gallon and...
I am on Rituxan and I have used Cytoxan. From what I have seen both are used to induce remission. Rituxan is a infusion but less harmful then Cytoxan as far as all research has currently shown. ...
Thank you annekat it was some time ago back in 89 and it was actually my stepfather. But it wasn't ment to be the rant it went into that was just the best example I could give being I lived with...
