Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 thanks for telling me that. I will know next time! >>> susant@... 08/09/01 03:09PM >>> I think most of us on this list take an antibiotic as a pre-caution before teeth cleaning. It's because a lot of germs or bacteria get " stirred up " from the cleaning. It's to prevent any infection. I forgot about it a couple of weeks ago and my hygenist sent me home.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Hi Toni: To answer your question, the meds do not work the same for everyone. We were told my daughter Jodi age 28 had AIH Feb. 2000. She was put on the transplant list Dec. 2000 and we had the living donor transplant May 18, 2001. She was taking about 22 pills a day but her liver numbers were not getting better. We almost lost her from an infection just a few months before the transplant. That's what made the doctors get on the ball and start the testing to see if I could be the donor. Thank God I was a match and healthy enough to give her 60% of my liver. She also got healthy enough for the living donor transplant to be possible. There is a point where this type of transplant is not done. When are you due and how are you feeling? Please take care of yourself by eating right. Very little red meat and salt, drink plenty of water and eat lots of veggies. Good luck and God bless, Genny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Genny: I'm doing very well, thank you. I actually just got the results from my ob/gyn of my liver function tests as well as all those other " baby " tests. Everything came back normal! I have been off the Pred (20mg) since July 16. He found I was borderline anemic (sp) so I'm taking some iron supplements but other than that everything is fine. We've already had one ultrasound and heard the heartbeat on two different occasions! I've noticed I've had some fatigue (altho I think lots of pregnant women do) but other than that I've been feeling great--no upper quadrant pain. I'm glad everything is fine with you and your daughter! You both are in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Hi Toni: I'm very glad everything seems to be going OK. By the way in the future if you are writing to me would you please put re: Genny. Since I'm working full time there is no way I can read all post in the group so I have to mostly read the ones that are directed to me. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. Thank you so much for the prayers. God Bless, Genny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awful that you've had to stop the meds, hope you get some Pred or steroids to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
