So so glad that the ER doc was on the ball and that Gareth is finally feeling

better. Maybe now you guys can catch a break.

Oggetto: Hospital stay.....again

 

Hi, Everyone.....Gareth was admitted to the hospital yesterday. We brought

him in because he passed out, again, in front of his LPN aide and Dad. She

said it definitely was a seizure and his PCP said to take him to the ER.

Well, it wasn't a seizure.....just his orthostatic hypotension.....since

all his tests have been negative. The good news is that they put him on

IV antibiotics because the ER doc didn't like the way the ear

looked........YES!!! So, after 2 doses, he's being goofy and said his headache

and ear

*hurt* is gone!!! God works in mysterious ways!!! He'll probably be

discharged tomorrow.....but, at least I know I wasn't wrong in wanting the

stronger IV antibiotics.

Take care, Everyone.

it right!!

Hi, Margaret,

I'm sorry about the unnecessary trip to the ER, but wow how cool did that turn

out to be as far as the IV meds. <fingers crossed> that this gets that

infection OUT!! <<toes crossed too>>

Hi Margaret,

Mother's intuition is usually always right and should be listened to. Glad

Gareth is getting the treatment needed. How great the older cardiologist

came in and checked Gareth. Hope all of this will restore his balance and

he will be feeling better soon and able to go home.

Think of you often and pray for better days ahead.

Louise, Mom to 49, in IL

Hi, Everyone....tip toeing can also be an early sign of muscular

dystrophy. As for pain, Gareth never acknowledged pain from his hip

dysplasia till

the one hip socket was completely eroded. He's got 5 pins holding that hip

together now.

An older cardiologist ( I'd say 60 +) came in this after to check on

Gareth. He had read where he has a history of orthostatic hypotension and

that

his testing in the ER was negative for any OH. Well, Gareth had just walked

the corridors for about 5 minutes and was doing his typical, laying out

flat on the bed, straight as a board, dizzy. The doc asked how they checked

him in the ER and we told him with the electrical, automatic BP machine.

Well, he got out his own stethoscope and the old hand pump-up arm band for

taking blood pressure. G's BP laying flat on the bed at that time was

110/60. He got the arm band pumped up again and told G to stand up. His

blood pressure dropped to 70/40!!! He wants G on BP medicine to raise his

BP..... before he busts his head open falling down!!! Ironically, his Dad

takes meds to lower his!!! Basically, G's OH, combined with his inner ear

infection, is wrecking havoc on his balance. Hopefully, he can come home

tomorrow.

Take care, Everyone.

Margaret, Good think for our mother intuition or ability to sense when

something is wrong with our kiddos. I read what u wrote about the vein

hardening and has a vein like that. What can they do for it?

's old docs never paid much attention to it. Im glad u all are home

and he is stablized. We go through so much. Cyndi B. .

Cyndi: Warm compresses seem to ease it. It is from IV/sticks! The site

gets infected and cause inflamation of the veins.
