,

Fingers are crossed and prayers are on their way. (You WOULD think

there was a less scarey way to do this.) Sounds like they're being

cautious though, and I'm sure they'll take good care of her.

Let me know how she's doing, okay?

Dear karen, That sounds like such a scary situation for you and your

daughter to be in. I am rather late in posting this, so I hope by now

the crisis has passed and that things are going better. About the

neostigmine- i just wanted to let you know that I take Mestinon (the

drug for myasthenia gravis, and it either is, or is related to

neostigmine) because it seems to help my muscle strength some. the

other good thing, is that it is really good for my Gi motility

problems:so maybe yur daughter's doc could consider her taking the

drug orally on a regular basis. My gut feels much better on it, and i

am much more regular (I also take the gi meds domperidone and zelnorm

but no laxitives) Celia--
