Guest guest Posted July 21, 2001 Report Share Posted July 21, 2001 I want to Thank everyone again for your thoughts and prayers. I know Robin C. has been updating you and she has sent me everyone's get well messages. She certainly has been wonderful with keeping my spirits up. It has been a long 11 weeks. I think all my friends with out chiari, are getting pretty sick of me being so ill and unable to do things. So, again thank you for the support. My PICC line became infected. SO, I had to quite the antibiotics for the staph meningitis 10 days early. They are waiting to see what my blood culture grow. So, I am still running fevers becasue I am a little septic. Anyone who came in contact with me does not have to worry. My TB test was negative. My 5 yearold was positive. But, the infectious disease dr. said that means he was ONLY exposed to TB. He does not have active TB. We will all be tested again in 3 months just to make sure. So, my next big hurdle will be to have the foramen magnum pleural cavity shunt put back in when DR. Frim is sure I am cleared of infection. I will put this off as long as I can. My ICP is pretty high right now, but I will deal with that one day at a time. That surgery was the pits!!!!! Again, thank you so much. You guys have been the BEST!!!!!!!! So, has my husband too. Through all of this, he has held the family together and been there for me 100%. Love, Newcomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
