Re: tilly s sister ( MaC)

[Guest guest]

Thank you MaC,

My head hasnt exploded yet that s a good sign. I have a lot of loving

support & I m TRYING to take care of myself, fibro doesnt like stress &

exhaustion. but I ll be ok. We re all pretty depressed but that s to be

expected.

The docs are running tons of tests on my sis. We still dont know exactly what

s going on. She probly wont be able to come to the funeral. Thats horribly sad.

We re trying to find someone to tape it for her. I am sooo glad she s getting

medical help. I ve been telling people for weeks that she needed help but they

didnt know I had YOU ALL teaching me the ropes.

So, you helped us, you taught me what to look for to get her medical help. I

think my relatives will listen a little more now, which will help my sis. How

awesome is that? To be able to help others from the other side of the country.

Thats just amazing & wonderful to me. THANK S TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE EDUCATION &

SUPPORT.

You have a great day, enjoy your daughter & your promotion. I have a eulogy

to write & gotta rest today if I want to be able to walk tomorrow.

warm hugs,

tilly

I know this is a tough time for you and I want you to know your

in my prayers. Your sisters high ammonia levels can dangerously effect her

encephalopathy. I'm sure the doctors will do everything they can to treat that.

The high ammonia levels are probably indicative of worsening portal hypertension

or the livers ability to breakdown proteins. This should improve in the hospital

with a restricted diet and lactulose. So this stay in the hospital will be good

for her.

My condolences again for the loss of your Mom.

My sis was admitted to hospital last night ( yes, I do feel like my

heads going to explode) her ammonia level was 60, 40 is normal. I d

been telling dad & my other sis to watch for this but sis finally went

to the ER complaining of dizzyness. & thank god they checked her.

Does anyone know, how high is HIGH for an ammonia level? I m concerned

that they admitted her for lactulose ( see?I been reading )I d think

50% above normal is pretty high. Any thoughts?

She annoys the heck outta me sometimes but I still love her.

She was taking care of some of moms funeral plans. We re going to try

today to figure THAT out. I ll know more after dad goes to see her, I m

stuck at home today ( waiting for grocery delivery, is that cool or

what?)Last night they said she d be in hospital for a day or 2.

Thanks for the help ya all. Your a great bunch of folks.

warm hugs,

tilly
