Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 , I too am glad that you are home and that you took the time to let us know. I'm sorry that you have been thru so much and have so much more ahead of you. Hopefully, all this will settle down for you soon. I'm sure you prefer to have more than Boost and do hope you can continue eating more regularly. I'm going to push the old recommendation here. Rest my dear. I'm sure your body needs plenty of it right now. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I am glad you are home, but it sounds like the stay was good and bad - establishing with the GI docs, but not really solving your problems yet. I think we all learn patience with mito, but sometimes it just takes too long even with patience. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. laurie > From: LILQT4U1984@... > Reply-To: > Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 15:18:19 EDT > To: mito , , > tpnsupport , Moonchild62579@..., > allyson.l.sisler@..., Utbrn@..., bethb48@..., > PaddockSwim9098@..., @..., go.shirl@..., > Catbecca83@..., scosby@..., digby@..., > anne02@..., Cme4christ@..., Traci1175@..., IMJANER2@..., > Jillianw143@..., Utahjo2@..., KateElle@..., > kodonnell2@..., Malnic2185@..., Lillian@..., > Malilibear@..., davidm0508@..., Marta608@..., rosefarm@..., > psmiller@..., nikkinetgirl@..., digby@..., > sweetnana1@..., Wearingxblack@..., roseschussler@..., > Staceyje@..., laurice_stevens@..., PJS3067198@..., > HiyaChica@..., KTWheelz86@..., LEMT13@..., > ladybug_chaney@..., heatheres@... > Subject: Home from Cleveland > > My mom and I flew home from Cleveland today.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi , I am so happy that you are finally home. I am sorry to hear that things aren't resolved yet. I know how much you were and are still looking for answers, and I hope that you will find them soon. It's good news that you did meet with the Ped's GI and that you like their ideas better than the other options that you were given. Thank goodness you are finally off that horrible Boost Plus. Just try to eat a little bit more each and every day. I know it is hard, dealing with the same thing myself, but I know we can do it.!! I hope the new meds start to work for you and that you get some relief soon. I am concerned that you have another UTI and that you are also bleeding. I hope they find the right antibiotic to kick that infection. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you fight this battle. Thinking of you always. Be Strong!! Hugs, Ann-Marie Home from Cleveland My mom and I flew home from Cleveland today. I'm not feeling well and nothing has really been resolved. On the plus side I did get established with the Ped's GI at CCF and they had much better and realistic ideas for me. I have to return to CCF for 2 wks in Sept. for upper and lower manometry studies. I will also have biopsies taken for Celiac Disease. I was put back on a regular diet and taken off the Boost Plus. The GI doc. felt it was better for me to be on food. I'm being tapered off the Senokot onto Zelnorm and a double dose of Miralax. It's not working at all so far and that is really hard. I'm eating as well as I can and trying to mentally fight this battle and just force more food in even when I'm too full. There is still the possibility of trying Propulsid if the Zelnorm doesn't work as well as the Cecostomy after the motility studies are done. I'm still battling an UTI and have had bleeding which is very troubling after 2 antibiotics. I will be seeing my local doc. and having an ultrasound of my kidneys and bladder done. Appreciated your prayers and kind words while I was away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 , I am glad that you finally made it home. I am sorry that you are going through all the bumps in the road lately. Take some time right now to rest. I can't imagine how worn out you must be. Smiles, a On Mon, 16 Aug 2004 15:18:19 EDT LILQT4U1984@... writes: My mom and I flew home from Cleveland today.
