Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi all well I am home for how long I do not know at this point. low down as of now still working list to have them look at so ideas if any will be added and sent to mom each day and given to the doctors . sis not responding well at all to any lowering of O2 or medacations. all her blood work and any other things being tested are being done at the Kisar hospital were she is at and also now UC medacal center calif. so far no one has a clue as to what brought on the distres she is having. there is no idea if she will pull threw this at all and if she dose if she will ever be off a resporator the rest of her life. we have started talks with the social worker at the hospittla and looking into temp for now gardenanship or power of atterny so that we can start ssi paperwork and or make leagle health care call in her behalf. mom is stressed out bad and I had to leave as I was becoming her target of attackes. I did not take it personal but i also know staying longer would only upset her more so my aunt is taking over my spot in trying to get mom to look at the reality of what is going on and what we need to do . my sisters two kids are well not mentaly able to make the decitions that need to be made yet there the ones leagley that are the one that it falls to . both are to put it nicly mentaly chanlanged and that is a clinical dignoses not a personal opionon. fact the yougest on (28) has been yelling that were all lieing to her called the cops to keep us from the ICU room and then tried to keep a nurse out saying only she could make her mom well and the rest were out to kill her. yes she is to be taking medacation for it but will not and the other one is a uncontroled bipoler and drug abuser who has some other leagle and personal problems over welming her life. so mom makes the calls or I should say I have to make her feel like she makes the calls and it is her decitions . normaly she would be a very good person at this but this time she is stressing realy bad . I think with my aunt that her age and the memorys of helpping her mother and my father die at home are in ways hounting her in this because she blams there dieing when the did on her self beliveing that they would have been alive a bit longer ( as in days maybe weeks ) if she had acted faster or help back from useing as much pain killers. this is some thing we are not letting her make calls on at this time for that very reson. any hoot my sister could make it threw this but the mostly chance is she will not and or if she dose not in a very good way as in life style and so we are taking things day by day hour by hour but the doctors wanted me to thank all of you for your ideas as I gave you credit for them . some they had done and a few it was hmmm thats not a bad Idea at all I had not thought of that so thank you and with that I am closing for now to compile tonights list and do some more reserch for a list to send so mom will have it in the morning when she talks to the doctors again thanks for the suport and care and yes I am glad I have all of you because right now I need ya all as my sister and I are like twins were that close in feelings and some say looks but were not were 18 month apart but have always been able to feel each other even with hnderds of miles seperating us so this is hurting me and it is hard to see her in a ICU bed like this as she is normaly the one so full of life and such so again thank you all for helping me make it threw this with your love and care you are and have shown your family but a chousen family not a forced on ya kind LOl the rednecks Marty & G. the redneck's my space http://www.myspace.com/martyg58 To learn about Stills Disease http://www.stillsdisease.org/stills_info For conservitive minded people http://www.americac2c.org " If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

They should have a Rheumy and Infectious Disease guy along with Pulm guy working together (and their best) if they don't then they aren't trying their hardest. Also, has she ever had asthma in her life, that can trigger all kind of breathing problems and is something that needs to be considered. The other thing that needs to be considered is enviromental. Basically, modular homes, lock-key homes, etc all have chemicals in them that can cause extreme breathing problems in one problem (because of auto-immune issues and not impact anyone else in the home, so the house should be checked for chemicals and molds, etc. I know it sounds really crazy, but there are proven cases that really cause problems for auto-immune patients. I hope she gets better soon. alli On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 11:47 AM, Marty <stills_stinks@ yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi every one > okay not going into much fluff here at all > my sis has some kind of auto amuni thing going on . she is in ICU and has > been for over a week now.
