Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 As I think that I told you, my daughter recently underwent the second half of her bilateral adrenalectomy. I have a question though. How long will it take for her BP to stablize in a somewhat normal range. She is still posting numbers too high for her age range but much better than her previous numbers? They have recently put her back on norvasc and I have to check her each day to make sure that her bp is not dropping into a dangerously low range before I give the BP meds. The docs have mentioned that it may take a while for her renal veins to relax and return to their normal elasticity and then they have also mentioned that there may be permant damage from the hypertention. I think they called it " nercrosis of the kidneys " . I am starting to become concerned that it is the last choice as it is still not coming into range. Any insight you have would be great.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 We do have a solucortef injection and I am very familiar with how to use it. I should have given it to her but I lost it when she started seizing as I have never had that happen before I was unprepared for it that time. I will be ready if there is a next time.
