Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Maddy has been on the diamox since yesterday afternoon and is doing great. She is back to eating and drinking and no pain complaints. I spoke to Dr. M today and he said since she improved while on diamox then he thinks she maybe be partially blocked in 1 or both catheters. He said he looked at her films (xray,ct,mri)taken with in the last 14 days and he knws her scans never show anything wrong even when there is. He said Dr. W will be back tomorrow and he will talk to her about scheduling her with Dr. W for a revision of one or both catheters. He said she will call me tomorrow. He told me to go ahead and stop the neurotin since the diamox works,this was around 3 pm,so she wasnt gonna need her 4 pm dose. However about 530 Maddy started saying her tummy hurt and she was gonna puke and she did 3 times,looked like everything she had taken in most of the day. I talked to neurosurgery and Dr. M told me to put her back on the neurotin. I am supposed to check in with them in the morning,but if she continues to vomit bring her to the ER and have them paged. Its been about 2 hours and no more puking and she is asleep. I will keep you all posted. Please keep Maddy in your prayers. p.s. maddy has been on diamox many times and I have asked her doc why not keep her on it,but he said it could be dangerous,it depletes the body of potassium,also it covers up her symptoms.
